Taichung Broadcasting Bureau, History museum in North District, Taichung, Taiwan
The Taichung Broadcasting Bureau is a museum housed in a building with western architectural style, surrounded by gardens featuring a lily pond and numerous trees. The grounds include several exhibition spaces distributed throughout and around the historic structure, displaying various artworks and artifacts.
The building was constructed in 1935 during Japanese rule and enabled Taichung residents to witness Emperor Hirohito's coronation through live transmission. This early role as a news station shaped its importance as a communication hub for the city.
The building now serves as an exhibition space where artists display their works, including design pieces, photographs, and contemporary paintings. Visitors can discover local and regional creatives here and see how this place has become a platform for artistic expression.
The museum is located within walking distance of Taichung Station and is easily accessible for all visitors. Ramps and adapted facilities make it possible to explore the different areas of the venue comfortably.
The structure contains 94 windows of different designs that create varying patterns of light and shadow as daylight changes throughout the day. This window variety is a defining feature of the architectural design and contributes to an ever-changing visual environment.
