Department Introduction

The Hsinchu Museum of Military Dependents’ Village is like a time tunnel showing the past collective memories of military dependent’s’ villages for visitors to understand the life of military dependent’s’ villages. In addition to being the platform for exchange among military dependent’s’ villages, the museum preserves the culture of military dependent’s’ villages in terms of history and lifestyle to re-present the daily life of Taiwan.
