Previously owned by Japan Mail Shipping Line, Yang Ming Marine Transport refurbished the old building in 2003 and revitalized it as a museum. Today, classified as one of the ten most important old buildings by the Keelung City Government, the museum shows the many faces of human civilization at once, such as marine culture, history, geography, art, and crafts. Interactive marine displays are available, and so are convenient tours led by volunteers. The objects and artworks on display manifest the city’s history and tourism values. Visitors are encouraged to explore Taiwan’s marine culture here.
