Kaohsiung Harbor Museum, Transport museum in Gushan District, Taiwan.

The Kaohsiung Harbor Museum occupies a two-story structure built in classical British brick style, featuring decorative walls and traditional architectural elements.

The building, completed in 1917, functioned as a Customs and Duties Office during Japanese rule before becoming the Harbor Affairs Bureau in 1943.

The museum displays maritime artifacts and documents chronicling the evolution of Kaohsiung Harbor, reflecting Taiwan's southern maritime development.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking the Kaohsiung MRT to Sizihwan Station or using local bus services that stop near the facility.

The building incorporates Y-shaped staircases, arched corridors, and grand columns that combine both Eastern and Western architectural influences.
