Matsu fork museum, Cultural heritage museum in Nangan, Taiwan.
The Matsu Folklore Museum is a five-story building in Nangan displaying objects and artifacts from the region. The layout guides you through exhibits that document how people lived, worked, and made things in this island community.
The museum opened in 1974 to preserve and display the local traditions of the region. Later improvements made the building more welcoming and allowed the collections to be shown more effectively.
The exhibits show how local people traditionally lived and worked with the sea and land. You can see fishing tools, farming equipment, and everyday household objects that shaped the community's way of life.
The museum is accessible by local buses that serve the island and stop near the building. Plan to spend a few hours walking through the floors at a comfortable pace.
The building itself blends village architectural elements from Matsu with design features from the eastern Fujian region. This mixed architectural style is a visible reminder of the historical ties between the islands and the mainland.
