The museum's purpose is to continue and promote the culture of traditional Chinese furniture and to coordinate with the forest resources of Taoyuan City and the quality traditional furniture craftsmanship of Daxi District.[1]
History
The idea for the museum was originally established by the suggestion of the Minister of Council for Cultural Affairs Chen Chi-lu after an inspection tour around Taiwan in 1984 to visit all of the cultural centers around the island.[2]
The construction of the museum started in September 1996 in three phases due to budget considerations. The phase one construction mainly focused on the special exhibitions of traditional Chinese furniture and furniture made in Daxi. The phase two construction focused on the furniture in early Taiwanese life and the traditional art furniture making. And the phase three construction focused on the peripheral facilities to the museum and space for research. All of the construction works were completed in December 1992.
Architecture
The museum is located on the basement level inside the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taoyuan City Government occupying an area of 900 m2.[3][4]
