National Museum of Taiwan History, History museum in Annan District, Tainan, Taiwan
The National Museum of Taiwan History is a history museum in Annan District, Tainan, that includes several permanent exhibition halls. These halls are organized by theme and range from prehistoric finds to the present day, with each area showing its own objects, texts, and media.
The institution was founded in October 2011 and is part of a government initiative to preserve cultural heritage. The project arose from the desire to create a central place where the island's many epochs could be documented and shared.
The museum regularly shows exhibitions about Taiwanese rituals, traditional ways of life, and the everyday culture of the island's different ethnic groups. Visitors can see reconstructed living spaces, workshops, and market scenes that show how people worked and lived in past centuries.
The building is near public transport lines and is open Tuesday through Sunday between 9 AM and 5 PM. All levels are wheelchair accessible, with lifts connecting the floors and toilets adapted for wheelchairs.
The building combines elements of local building tradition with contemporary exhibition techniques, including touchscreens and projections. Large windows let daylight into the galleries and connect the interior with the surrounding landscape park.
