Taichung Prison Education Museum Introduction
Exploration Guide ◼️ The Art and Culture Exhibition Area hosts regular thematic art exhibitions. ◼️ The 3D Painting Room offers realistic photography and simulated dormitory experiences. ◼️ The VR experience provides a glimpse into life inside the walls. The first floor includes a reception hall, a self-operated product exhibition area, a display area for educational and reformative achievements, a history exhibit of correctional institutions, a remote visitation center for families of inmates, a world map, an interactive photo booth, and an administrative office area. The second floor features a flexible multimedia classroom that doubles as an assembly hall, a simulated dormitory, multifunctional classrooms, meeting rooms, a VR experience area, and the 3D Painting Room (a key highlight of this venue). The Art and Culture Exhibition Area primarily showcases traditional crafts or creative works from various correctional institutions, such as lacquerware, Jiaozi ceramics, bamboo weaving, and rush weaving. It provides the public with an understanding of the contributions and innovative efforts of correctional institutions toward preserving traditional crafts. The simulated dormitory represents the daily life and sleeping quarters of inmates. In addition to the dormitory door, essential facilities include a report light, an inmate nameplate, a viewing peephole, a meal pass-through, and a ventilation window. The dormitory door is designed with a viewing feature and two sets of door bolts, providing better protection for correctional personnel when opening the door. The 3D Painting Room was meticulously created by professional 3D painter Mr. Lin Zhi-Min specifically for this venue. Visitors can see vibrant 3D murals on the walls both outside and inside the painting room, representing the main missions and functions of current correctional institutions: confinement, reflection, transformation, and reintegration.
