Taiwan Education Association Building, Heritage building in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The Taiwan Education Association Building is a heritage structure at 54 Nanhai Road featuring a distinctive brown brick facade with geometric patterns of washed terrazzo adorning its upper edge. The construction reflects Taipei's architectural past and now serves as a public museum.
Construction was completed in 1931 and the building initially served as a venue for displaying educational achievements during Japanese colonial rule. After 1946, it housed the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council before eventually transitioning to museum operations.
The building was designed by engineer Kaoru Ide, a figure from the colonial era whose work shaped Taipei's architectural character. The blend of modern and colonial styles remains visible today in the facade details and interior layout.
The structure is open to the public year-round and presents exhibitions focused on history and education. You can walk through the spaces to experience the architecture and learn about Taipei's heritage at your own pace.
The building once housed the American Cultural Center and later became headquarters for the Scouts of China. These two phases reveal how the site's purpose shifted dramatically over different eras.
