內容簡介

Establishment of a national 228 memorial museum has been an ardent expectation of the victims, families of the 228 Incident and people who care about the incident. The Taiwan Education Hall, having experienced the Japanese colonial period, the 228 Incident, Martial Law rule and democracy today, is a historical building that witnesses Taiwan’s historical progression from a colony to one-party rule to democracy. As such, it was chosen as the site to house the National 228 Memorial Museum.
