Sun Yun-suan Memorial Museum of Technology and Humanities Introduction
The "Sun Yun-suan Memorial Museum of Technology and Humanities," located in the southern part of Taipei City, was the residence of Mr. Sun Yun-suan during his tenure as Premier. Mr. Sun moved in in 1980 and lived here until his passing in 2006, for a total of 26 years. Many significant decisions and policies were conceived here during his time as Premier. After Mr. Sun's death, the Taipei City Government's Cultural Affairs Bureau designated the site as a municipal historic monument in 2006 in appreciation of his contributions to Taiwan and commissioned the Sun Yun-suan Academic Foundation to manage it, aiming to fully utilize the historical site. The residence covers an area of 866 square meters and includes the historic building, an attached new building, and a garden. The historic site, which combines traditional and Western styles, features permanent exhibitions showcasing the splendor and history of Taiwan's economic development and aspects of Mr. Sun's personal life, as well as a special exhibition area with changing exhibitions. The newly constructed building, designed with the textures of the historic site, serves as a space for various lectures, performances, and cultural exchanges. Surrounded by a garden, there is a pond which was Mr. Sun's favorite, magnolias planted by his wife, and towering ancient trees. The establishment of the memorial museum aims to highlight Mr. Sun's spirit and example of dedication to public service, and to provide a cultural space that is both traditional and modern, profound yet approachable.
