921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan

The 921 Earthquake Museum presents preserved damage from the Chi-Chi earthquake through halls displaying fault ruptures, collapsed buildings, and elevated riverbanks.

On September 21, 1999, at 1:47 AM, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck central Taiwan, leading to the establishment of this educational facility.

The museum functions as a center for natural science education, offering programs about seismic activity and emergency preparedness to local communities.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 17:00, with facilities including exhibition spaces, a canteen, and accessible amenities.

The Chelungpu Fault Gallery features 82 concrete panels forming an arch structure, displaying the actual fault line where major seismic activity occurred.
