Department Introduction

The building of the Taiwanese Opera and Puppet Museum in Pingtung used to be the old Chaozhou Post Office and was an important government office (zhuangyichang) building in Chaozhou during the Japanese occupied period. The building was constructed in 1916 and the construction was completed in the same year. The Taiwanese Opera and Puppet Museum has area of 253 square meters and its building is a one-floor Japanese-style bungalow. The Museum building blends some elements of Baroque architecture into its design. The roof is made of black tiles, Taiwan cedar, and China fir. On the building you can see plain brick walls and counterweight wooden sash windows. The unique style of the Museum is beyond description. Like a witness looking on at the development and history of Chaozhou, the Taiwanese Opera and Puppet Museum has its historic value in the area. Therefore, the Pingtung County Government listed it as a historical building in 2006.
