Taiwan Railway Museum | Special Architecture Exhibition Area: From bathhouses, stations, to workshops, exploring the memories of railway life and architecture of the era

Seeing the Soul of the Railway in Its Architecture

The story of the railway lies not only in the carriages and tracks, but also hidden deep within the buildings themselves. The Taiwan Railway Museum's "Special Buildings" exhibition area reveals the trajectory of railway workers' lives:

In the bathhouses, they shed coal dust and fatigue; in the old train stations, they welcomed and bid farewell to countless separations and reunions; in the workshops, the figures of railway craftsmen, along with the tracks, bear the weight of time.

These buildings are both tools of the times and containers of culture. When we step inside them, we don't just witness a piece of history, but enter a "space of railway workers' lives."
