Kaohsiung Museum of Labor

The Kaohsiung Museum of Labor is a museum in Cianjin District presenting Taiwan's industrial development through exhibitions. The collections display work tools, historical photographs, and documents from different time periods and industries.

The museum was founded in 2010 at another location before moving to the Cianjin area. The current building opened in 2015 and was adapted from a former harbor authority structure connected to the city's maritime past.

The museum shows how Taiwan's workforce changed over time. You can see how people worked in traditional crafts, harbors, and today in modern industries.

The visit is straightforward since City Council Station on the metro is nearby and the museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. Entry is free and you can spend as much time as you want exploring all the exhibitions.

The building itself tells a story: it was once the office building of Kaohsiung's harbor authority. This reuse connects the physical structure directly to the maritime labor themes explored inside the museum.
