The origins of the museum date back to excavations undertaken at the 13th site in 1990.[1] The 13th Site Museum was built in 1998.[2] It includes a "Bridge of Time" or Tijd Brug, that allows visitors to travel back through time to explore its civilization and culture.

In 2017, the museum became the first museum exhibiting its artifacts outside Taiwan when they held an exhibition in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan at the Saitobaru Archaeological Museum displaying 105 artifact sets from the museum in Taiwan. The exhibition was jointly organized by scholars and experts from both sides.[3]
