Kaohsiung Museum of History

Japan ruled era building for city hall. Now preserved for historical museum. Free admission, worth of visiting 2 hours to understand the history of the city. The building itself is also elegant and splendor to reflect Japan government focused on established Kaohsiung as a new capital of Taiwan.

Amazing place. I have little interest in history but I had fun here. Absolutely adore their artwork. The exhibit's got the perfect mix of design, diagrams, maps, interactive and historical items, photographs, descriptions, etc.nBeautiful building and great space, atmosphere :)nThe 228 exhibit is very well designed and informative. Very worth visiting. I learned so much. The museum building itself is the site of the events. That gives a totally different feeling.

It is not only museum but also historical building. It is Japanese colonial period style.nIt is also recommended for family with kids because there are some exhibition and activities for kids.nIf you collect stamp mark in Taiwan, this place also has stamps to chop on your diary or notebook.

Some very good exhibits. I especially found the 228 incident overview enlightening. The shipping container exhibit is good too. There's just enough English. Google translate with your camera worked well enough to the gist of the rest. Free.

Very intriguing! Recommended!
