It is said that there are a lot of educational

and academic stuff in here in this museum.

So if you want to learn something,

let's go check it out.

National Museum of Taiwan History

is a museum dedicated to Taiwan

The route is arranged in chronological order

And lead its visitors to take a glimpse at

the history of the residents on this island

Starting from the daily life of indigenous people,

to the ancient boat of Han people,

the Dutch rule and the Japanese rule,

and the chaotic society after World War II,

the journey is an overview of Taiwan's modern history

The museum itself is a time machine that

takes us on a journey to the history of Formosa

This is my friend, Yu Chen,

Hi, every one

Could you please give me

a tour in National Museum of Taiwan History?

Ok, follow me

In terms of its spatial design,

National Museum of Taiwan features high ceiling and large span,

providing a spacious exhibition venue

Walking inside it is just like having a time travel

Hsuanhui, we're now here at

the permanent exhibition gallery of National Museum of Taiwan

The exhibition is called “Our Land, Our People: the Story of Taiwan”

This exhibition displays 這個展區所呈現的是

the stories of Taiwan, it's people, the land, and the life here

You can see what Taiwan is like during different periods of time

What we see now

is the Matzu Patrol and Pilgrimage.

In this exhibition, you can see the religious beliefs

and customs of Taiwanese people

The objects here have their special implications

For example, the person in front of the procession beating drums

and gongs is called “Bao Ma Zai (the informer)”

Bao Ma Zai doesn't wear glasses

In Taiwanese, “glasses without glass”

is a metaphor telling people “not to be defiant”

Isn't it interesting?

Don't you think this scenary is quite familiar?

That's right!

In Tainan, you can always see such a scenery once a while.

Because there are lots of temples,

like Matzu temple and other temples, 例如媽祖廟

like Matzu temple and other temples, 例如媽祖廟

they would always go on the road,

and play some musical instruments,

to tell people that Matzu is coming.

This is our special feature

It's a grocery store stand

Do you want to give it a try?

Ok, here. It's on you now.

(Peddling, selling)

This is a Taiwanese grocery store stand

It's a regular activity where tourists can experience

the peddler convention in Taiwan

It's a part of the permanent exhibition

The grocery store stand is archaic

There are many traditional toys,

mosquito coils,

and tools to remove head lice

You don't see them elsewhere nowadays

They're very special

Wow! See, these old-style stuffs,

and I just found something really cool!

See this one?

You know what this is?

This is a jump rope.

This is made of a lot of rubber bands,

and you don't even have to spend

a hundred Taiwanese dollars to get a jump rope.

All you need is to collect a lot of rubber bands,

and just tie them up,

and then you can jump,

and do some sports.

One special thing about this museum is that

there are sometimes some random drama performances

combining history stories here in the museum.

So, if you visit here more frequently,

maybe you would get the chance to encounter this crazy,

special performance.

In addition to permanent exhibitions

There are also many other exhibitions in National Museum of Taiwan

Many of the exhibitions here are sponsored by Taiwanese people

During the visit,

I found that the exhibitions are displayed in many different ways

You get to see the different aspects of a theme

They increases the variety of the exhibition

We're now here at the exhibition venue for children

Aside from permanent exhibitions,

there are story houses and theater performances

as well as DIY activities in the venue for children

They're very popular

I'm really impressed with the exhbitions going on in this museum.
