The Taiwan Salt Museum (Chinese: 臺灣鹽博物館; pinyin: Táiwān Yán Bówùguǎn) is a museum about salt in Qigu District, Tainan, Taiwan.
History
The salt mountain was once the largest sea salt field in Taiwan supplying the domestic demand. Due to the declining demand, the salt field ceased production in May 2002. After the production halt, the place was refurbished by Taiyen Company to create a unique landscape of salt mountain.[1]
Architecture
The shape and the look of the salt piles are strategically designed so that the two piles look like two white pyramids rising out of the salt field.[2]
Exhibitions
The museum has the following exhibits:
- First floor exhibition room displays how salt workers work in the salt fields in the 1960s in Taiwan;
- Second floor exhibition room displays the 30 years history of Taiwan salt industries;
- Fourth floor exhibition room displays information about salt around the world.
