Description | Wikipedia: The museum building was originally used for the Minxiong Broadcasting Bureau during the Japanese rule which were built in 1938 and came into operation on 28 September 1940. It was used by the Japanese government as psychological warfare broadcasting during World War II. After the Chinese Civil War in 1949, it became the base for Radio Taiwan International propagating psychological warfare broadcasting towards Mainland China. In 1993, the building became a local cultural center with the Department of Cultural and Creative Development. In 1999, the National Radio Museum was established on the building. Exhibitions The museum exhibits various artifacts and materials on the broadcasting and radio history of Taiwan, including classified intelligence materials used previously. The National Radio Museum displays early broadcasting equipment and different sized vacuum tubes. It boasts the world’s only remaining MB-15A model 100kw antique mediumwave transmitter. Bullet marks from US attacks during the war are still visible on the transmitter, striking evidence of the building’s past. |
