The museum was originally built as a residence of Koo Hsien-jung. The construction started in 1913 and was completed 6 years later in 1919. In the 1920s and 1930s, the building became the venue for international conferences with foreign dignitaries.[1] In 1973, the building was converted into the Lukang Folk Arts Museum, with all the buildings, land, furniture, utensils and collector's items having been donated by the Koo family and other private benefactors.[citation needed] The museum holds more than 6,000 articles. The items exhibited in the museum mostly date from the mid-Ching dynasty to the early years of the Republic. Household, travel, and recreational items, as well as religious implements and celebratory artifacts are displayed for visitors.[citation needed]
Architectureedit
The museum was designed by Japanese architect Moriyama Matsunosuke.[2] The building has a strong local flavor. The architecture of the museum and the pieces housed within not only demonstrate craftsmanship, but also a thriving history of Lukang.
Yang Building: The Yang Building was built in 1919. The design and materials used in the Meiji styled structure are excellent examples of that time in Taiwan.
Ku Feng Building: This 18th century wood and brick structure is of a Min-nan (Southern Fukien) style. The building has a traditional feel to it.
Exhibitionedit
The museum houses a collection of Ming and Qing dynasty artifacts: vintage photographs, lacquer ware, porcelain, carved stones, embroidery, musical instruments, and other items. The building is an unusual combination of Asian architecture and Western architecture.[3]
