Kaohsiung Museum of History

The Kaohsiung Museum of History is located on Zhongzheng 4th Road, by the Love River in Yancheng District. It was originally the site of the Kaohsiung City Government. After the city government relocated in 1992, given that for over fifty years, this site had served as the hub of city administration, carrying the trajectory of urban development and the imprints of citizens' lives, and was also a historical site during the 228 Incident, the city government decided to revitalize the historic building. Both the building's exterior and its essence reflect Kaohsiung's glory, scars, and past. It was converted into a history museum, making it Taiwan's first history museum operated by a local government. The museum records the arduous pioneering process of early settlers. It hopes that through the valuable artifacts displayed and various research and promotional activities, more people will understand the trajectory of Kaohsiung City's development.
