National Radio Museum, National museum of radio broadcasting in Minxiong Township, Taiwan.
The National Radio Museum in Minxiong occupies a 1938 building and displays a large collection of radio equipment, transmitters, and historical broadcasting artifacts across several exhibition halls. The collection covers equipment from various stages of radio communication development in Taiwan through the present day.
The building was constructed in 1938 and served as the Minxiong Broadcasting Bureau during Japanese rule before becoming Radio Taiwan International after 1949. This shift reflects the political and technological changes that shaped the island's radio communication over decades.
The museum displays radio equipment and transmission technology that shaped how people stayed informed and connected across Taiwan. Visitors can see how broadcasting evolved as an important tool for reaching communities across the island.
The museum is located north of Minxiong Station along Taiwan Railways and can be reached on foot. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, making it easy to plan a visit while exploring the surrounding area.
The museum preserves an MB-15A 100 kilowatt mediumwave transmitter, one of the last of its kind, bearing visible bullet holes from World War II attacks. This damaged equipment shows the physical traces of wartime and offers a rare glimpse into a surviving technical landmark.
