The museum building was originally constructed in 1935 as the official residence of the Hōko Prefecture governor. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the building became the official residence of the Penghu County magistrate. In 1992, the building ceased to be used as an official residence. In 2000, renovation to transform the residence into a museum started. Upon completion, the hall was officially opened in July, 2003.[1]
