Young People Protecting Their Cultural Roots

This is a museum that brings together lived stories and industrial heritage. The Pickup Trend Team explores the stories by renting old houses and conducting interviews and field studies to preserve tangible and intangible cultural assets. The team also provides renovated spaces to young people coming back home to start new businesses. By implementing a good business model, the museum turns culture into a force for sustainable business development. The objective is to move people through Xinhua’s beautiful culture and way of life, and thus to revitalize the town’s historic neighborhood. In the Tainan Xinhua Life Story Museum, the old houses are its exhibition halls, the connecting lanes and alleys are art corridors, while lives and the stories they hold are the contents of exhibition. This is a museum that embodies the local community.
