Establishment Purpose

  • The establishment of the National 228 Memorial Museum is an achievement as the 228 Justice and Peace Movement had to go through so much adversity and hardship. As new trails were blazed during the 228 Justice and Peace Movement, the movement was a process for the Taiwanese people becoming inspired and actually break free from colonialism and resisting oppressive authorities in the quest for democracy and human rights. This precious experience of becoming enlightened and actually realizing democracy will continue to fuel the operations of the National 228 Memorial Museum, and effectively pass on this period of history to further inspire society to be more intelligent and forward-looking as the nation marches into the future. This is the duty of the National 228 Memorial Museum. The National 228 Memorial Museum, which bears multiple missions, is a social resource established through the blood, sweat and tears of the democratic predecessors of Taiwan. Lives were even sacrificed to make this precious resource available as the Museum will continue to explore and combine possible resources to make it operate more in line with the reality and ideals of the current Taiwanese society.

Department Introduction

"To handle the compensations of the 228 Incident, implement historical education, clarify the attribution of relevant responsible parties, allow the people to learn the truth behind the incident, heal the damage from history, and promote ethnic harmony," the Government has adhered to the spirit of legislation, implemented the common expectations of the victims from the 228 Incident regarding the establishment of a national 228 Memorial Museum based on the “Regulations on the Handling and Compensation of the 228 Incident” (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"). After over 5 years of hard work by the victims and families of the 228 Incident along with relevant foundations, the Executive Yuan finally issued instructions in July 2006 to have the "National 228 Memorial Museum's" address set at No.54 Nanhai Road, Taipei City (formerly known as the Taiwan Education Association). The "National 228 Memorial Museum" was officially registered on February 28th, 1996. During this time, the museum has undergone restorations and re-use projects on its monuments, and the "National 228 Memorial Museum" was officially opened on February 28th, 2011.
