History
The museum building was originally constructed as the North Thermal Power Plant in 1937 by the Japanese government, the first power plant in Taiwan constructed on a reclaimed land. The power plant was decommissioned in 1981 and left abandoned for 20 years. In 2001, the plan to convert the former power plant into a museum was unveiled. The building was designated as a historical building in 2004 by Keelung City Government. The museum was opened by Premier Jiang Yi-huah on 26 January 2014.
