Introduction

Kaohsiung Museum of History is located on the banks of the Love River and was previously the old Kaohsiung City Hall building. It was built during the Japanese colonial era and is a representative example of the imperial crown style of architecture, which combined Eastern and Western elements. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Pacific War, public buildings in Taiwan showed a difference from the previous Western classical style, and the architectural style was linked to political ideology known as the Xingya and Imperial Crown Building style. These buildings were mainly concentrated in Kaohsiung, part of Japan's "southward advance base" at that time, and are relatively rare in Taiwan, with a distinct era sensation. The museum exhibits comprehensively the various aspects of Kaohsiung's history, including the famous "2.28 Incident" scene restoration in Kaohsiung, and the "Gao Xiaoxiong's House - Children's Story House" specifically designed for children. For those who are in Kaohsiung for the first time and want to learn about the city's history, the museum is an essential destination.
