Kaohsiung Museum of History, History museum in Yancheng District, Taiwan
The Kaohsiung Museum of History spans three floors in a light green building with symmetrical towers and traditional Japanese architectural elements at its entrance.
The structure, completed in 1939 by architect Oono Yonezirou, functioned as Kaohsiung City Hall until 1992 before its transformation into a museum in 1998.
The museum exhibitions present the development of Kaohsiung through artifacts, documents, and photographs that demonstrate the evolution of local traditions and society.
Located at 272 Zhongzheng 4th Road, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 and 17:00, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
