Stories of Recovery and Reconstruction after Morakot(莫拉克風災紀念廳)

Exhibition date： Permanent exhibition
Exhibition place：6F

Description

In 2009, Typhoon Morakot devastated southern and eastern Taiwan, leaving many people homeless and bereaved. In the aftermath, various sectors joined hands to rebuild. The “Stories of Recovery and Reconstruction after Morakot” exhibition was then established in the museum to record the impact of the disaster, learn from its lessons, and hopefully inspire the wisdom and resilience for disaster prevention in the future.

As you step into the exhibition hall, through the immersive theater, AR augmented surrounding, light-sculpting projection, and interactive body sensing, we will take you back to the scene of Typhoon Morakot, where you can experience the unwavering stories of rescue and reconstruction.

The exhibition is divided into three themes:

Memories of Morakot: A retrospective of the touching journey of the occurrence, disaster relief, and homeland reconstruction.
Coexisting with Disaster: Showcasing Taiwan’s efforts in addressing climate challenges through cutting-edge technology and innovative strategies.
Hope and Rebirth: Witnessing the resilient strength of post-disaster recovery through videos and display of reconstructed tribal villages

The exhibition not only conveys inspiration and hope in the face of disaster but also guides visitors to contemplate how to work together to build resilient homes and prepare for future challenges. It is a moving experience combined with learning that invites you to explore and reflect.

This exhibition is suitable for all visitors interested in environmental education issues.

Visiting groups are welcome to book guided tours; individual visitors can scan the QR code in the exhibition hall to listen to audio guides in Chinese or English. In addition, the “Future Disaster Prevention” learning sheets are available on site. All are welcome to explore and learn using the learning sheets.
