Mackay Memorial Museum, House museum and memorial in Tamsui, Taiwan.

The Mackay Memorial Museum features Colonial Revival architecture with Spanish colonial-style stucco walls, designed to withstand northern Taiwan's climate conditions.

Built in 1875 by Canadian Presbyterian missionary George Leslie Mackay, this residence became a center for medical care, education, and religious activities.

The museum exhibits demonstrate the integration of Western medicine and education systems into Taiwanese society during the late nineteenth century.

Located near Mount Guanyin and the Tamsui River, the museum displays personal artifacts, medical instruments, and historical documents from Mackay's time.

The building temporarily served as a Peace Clinic during World War II, providing shelter and support for women who had lost their families.
