Sun Yun-suan Science and Culture Memorial Hall 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 Chairman of the Executive Yuan. Mr. Sun moved in in 1980 and lived here until his passing in 2006, a total of 26 years. Many important decisions and policy directions during his time as Chairman were conceived in this house. After Mr. Sun's death, in recognition of his contributions to Taiwan, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Taipei City Government designated the residence as a municipal historic site in 2006 and entrusted the management to the Sun Yun-suan Academic Foundation, aiming to fully utilize the historic site. The residence, covering an area of 866 ping, includes the historic building, an annex, and a garden. Within the historic site, which features both traditional and modern architecture, there are permanent exhibitions showcasing the splendor and passage of Taiwan's economic development, as well as glimpses into Mr. Sun's personal life. A special exhibition area is set up to periodically change the exhibition content. The newly constructed building, designed with elements from the historic site, serves as a cultural exchange space for lectures, performances, and courses. The garden surrounding the building features a fish pond beloved by Mr. Sun, magnolias planted by his wife, and towering ancient trees. The establishment of the memorial museum aims to highlight Mr. Sun's dedication to public service and serve as a model, while also providing a cultural space that is both traditional and modern, deep yet approachable.
