The idea of the establishment of the museum started by Kaohsiung County Government in 1986 under the instruction of Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA) and the Department of Education of Taiwan Provincial Government. The plan was proposed by CCA in 1987. The design of the museum building was completed in 1988 and construction took place in 1991 until 1993. The museum was officially opened on 13 March 1994. In September 2010, the building was damaged by Typhoon Fanapi. Subsequently, the museum was closed for reparation works and reopened in March 2012.[1][2][3]
