Product Info
Located on the elegant hillside of Beitou, the Beitou Museum is nestled within an 800-ping garden surrounded by lush greenery. It is the only remaining two-story Japanese-style wooden building in Taiwan, exuding an atmosphere of elegance, mystery, and tranquility. It is also one of the most exquisite private historic sites and private museums in Taiwan. Originally built in 1921, this building was once the most high-end hot spring hotel during the Japanese colonial period, known as the 'Kazan Hotel'. Despite the passage of time and several changes in ownership and names, its scenery remains captivating. In 1983, Mr. Chang Chun-ming, the founder of the Beitou Museum, leased the property and established the 'Taiwan Folk Arts Museum', which officially opened in 1984, housing a collection of nearly 5,000 artifacts from early Taiwanese folk life and indigenous cultures. It was renamed the 'Beitou Museum' in 1987. After a five-year, multi-million dollar restoration using traditional craftsmanship starting in 2002, it reopened in 2008. Today, it operates as a multi-functional space offering dining, cultural and creative products, and performing arts, moving toward becoming a platform for Taiwan's cultural and creative industries.
