Assembly Affairs Museum of the Legislative Yuan, Legislative museum in Wufeng District, Taichung, Taiwan
The Assembly Affairs Museum of the Legislative Yuan is a museum in Wufeng, Taichung, that holds documents, photographs, and objects related to Taiwan's parliamentary history. The rooms are organized around different periods and themes, with information panels and digital displays throughout.
The museum opened in 2007 as a way to document the evolution of Taiwan's legislative institutions over time. It was created at a moment when the country was actively reflecting on and securing the record of its democratic transition.
The museum displays how Taiwan's legislative processes and parliamentary traditions are rooted in the society's daily life. The exhibitions help visitors understand the role the legislature plays in the country's democracy.
The museum offers guided tours, but visitors can also explore the exhibitions on their own at their own pace. Many of the texts and labels are in Chinese, so it is worth checking in advance if materials in other languages are available.
The museum runs a digital archive where researchers and visitors can search historical parliamentary materials online without visiting in person. This makes it one of the few places in Taiwan where primary legislative sources are openly accessible to the public from anywhere.
