Sun Yun-suan Memorial Museum of Science and Humanities Introduction
The "Sun Yun-suan Memorial Museum of Technology and Humanities," located in the southern part of Taipei, was the residence of Mr. Sun Yun-suan during his tenure as the Premier of the Executive Yuan. Mr. Sun moved in in 1980 and lived here for 26 years until his passing in 2006. Many important decisions and policies were conceived during Mr. Sun's time as Premier in this residence. After his death, in gratitude for his contributions to Taiwan, the Cultural Bureau of Taipei City designated the house as a historic site in 2006, entrusting its management to the Sun Yun-suan Academic Foundation, aiming to make full use of the historic site. The residence occupies an area of 866 ping and includes the historic building, new ancillary structures, and gardens. The memorial features both traditional and modern elements, showcasing a permanent exhibition of Taiwan's economic development and personal moments from Mr. Sun's life, as well as a special exhibition area that changes its exhibits periodically. The new building, designed with the texture of the historic site, serves as a venue for various lectures, performances, and cultural exchanges. The gardens surrounding the building include Mr. Sun’s favorite fish pond, magnolia flowers planted by his wife, and towering ancient trees. The establishment of the memorial aims to highlight Mr. Sun’s dedication to public service and to provide a cultural space that is both traditional and modern, deep yet approachable.
