National Taiwan Library Introduction
The National Museum of Taiwanese Literature is mainly divided into three main areas: the Museum of Artifacts, the Historic Building, and the Literature Building. 1. Museum of Artifacts: Located at the center of the museum campus, the exterior adopts European Renaissance architecture, showcasing folk artifacts related to the food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment, religious beliefs, and local customs of the ancestors. The permanent exhibition hall displays the folk culture of Taiwanese common people's lives, while the special exhibition hall holds various exhibitions periodically. As of September 2017, the exhibition area has added services for the visually impaired, including braille labels for permanent exhibitions, tactile color braille focus displays, and braille book exhibits for reading. 2. Historic Building: The first floor includes a briefing room, a gift shop, a service desk, a display area for geographical models of Taiwan, and exhibition rooms for prehistoric archaeological sites, the Pingpu people, and indigenous peoples; the second floor contains exhibition rooms for the Dutch-Spanish and Cheng periods, the Qing era, and a special exhibition hall; the third floor features displays for the Japanese colonial and post-World War II periods, important historical figures and events in Taiwan, and a model exhibition area for national historic sites. Exhibits are systematically arranged in chronological order, showcasing prehistoric life relics and the development of Taiwan over various periods. The fourth floor comprises a library. For the visually impaired, braille books are provided on every floor (detailed positions on the floor plan), and each exhibition display also includes braille captions. 3. Additionally, the Literature Building is located to the right of the entrance to the Taiwan Historic and Cultural Park and was officially opened in 1992. It has four floors above ground and one basement floor, with a total floor area of approximately 1,700 ping.
