History

Kaohsiung County Government began researching the establishment of a museum in 1986 as instructed by the Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA) and the Taiwan Provincial Government Department of Education. Plains to build the museum were proposed by the Council for Cultural Affairs in 1987. The design of the museum building was completed in 1988 and construction took place between 1991 and 1993. The museum was officially opened on 13 March 1994. In September 2010, the building was damaged by Typhoon Fanapi. Subsequently, the museum was closed for reparation works and reopened in March 2012.[1][2][3]
