National Taiwan Museum of History Introduction
The "National Museum of Taiwan History" is mainly divided into three main buildings: the Artifact Building, the Historical Building, and the Archive Building. 1. Artifact Building: Located at the central position of the museum's park, the exterior features European Renaissance architecture and showcases folk artifacts related to the food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment, religious beliefs, and customs of the ancestors. The permanent exhibition hall displays the everyday life and folk culture of Taiwanese commoners, while the special exhibition hall hosts diverse exhibitions periodically. Since September 2017, new services for visually impaired visitors have been added, including braille thematic adhesives for each permanent exhibition room, 3D colored braille focal artifact displays, and braille book introductory reading exhibits. 2. Historical Building: The first floor includes a briefing room, a sales department, a service desk, a display area for Taiwan terrain model, as well as exhibitions on prehistoric archaeological sites, the Pingpu people, and Indigenous peoples. The second floor features exhibition rooms from the Spanish and Dutch periods, the Zheng period, and a special exhibition room. The third floor includes exhibition rooms on the Japanese rule and post-World War II periods, significant figures and events in Taiwan's history, and a model display area for national historic sites. These exhibits systematically showcase the living relics from Taiwan's prehistoric times and the processes of development and features over the periods. The fourth floor houses a library. For visually impaired friends, braille books are available for reading on each floor (location details are provided in the floor plan), and braille is also available at the signage in each exhibition hall. 3. The Archive Building is located to the right of the entrance of the Taiwan Historical and Cultural Park and was officially opened in 1992. It has four floors above ground and one underground, with a total floor area of approximately 1,700 ping.
