The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan (Earthquake education park) is one of the branches of the National Museum of Natural Science. It was built on the site of the major earthquake that occurred on September 21, 1999 (A strong earthquake of 7.3 in the central part of Taiwan). To provide social education and raise public awareness of earthquakes (Taiwan is located in an earthquake-prone area).
The park is quite large and there are many galleries, so we can spend a whole day or even several times to visit the museum.
It is worthwhile to listen to the in-depth tour to learn about the structure of the earth and the causes of earthquakes.
More importantly, I was very touched by the analysis of the entire 921 earthquake and the post-quake reconstruction process. Especially for those who have experienced it.
In addition to the explanation of crustal changes, there are also practical hands-on experiments that are also quite interesting. It is not only easy for adults to understand, but also can enhance the interest of children.
The indoor exhibition in the park has a lot of content, and the outdoor area preserves the original damaged buildings, so we can actually see the wreckage and understand the way of reinforcement.
Here we also introduce technological methods to cope with the impact of earthquakes on human beings on Earth.

This is recorded in real time!!
Another point is that the 921 Earthquake Education Park was built according to the conditions at that time, so the overall movement is not as smooth as a normal museum, but rather uneven in height.
This is what I understood immediately after the introduction, so the movement line is special and we can see the actual situation instead.
This earthquake education park is really worth visiting again, there are so many things to learn. I highly appreciate the professionalism of the volunteers and the contents of the exhibition!
