The Story of Taiwan Agriculture (臺灣農業的故事展示廳)

Exhibition date： Permanent exhibition
Exhibition place：B3

Description

This exhibition hall showcases Taiwan’s development of refined agriculture, promotional results of cross-domain gathering of nearly 30 domestic industry, government, academic and research units. Through diverse exhibition approaches, it introduces how technology is applied to everyday agriculture from a biological perspective, and tells the proud story of Taiwan’s century-long agricultural development.

Living in Taiwan, it is easy to come across all kinds of fruits, vegetables, grains, and fresh meat products. Where are the duck meat we often eat, the taro-aromatic rice, the colorful orchids on the market , and the non-toxic and pollution-free vegetables from? The Story of Taiwan Agricultural Hall combines traditional museum exhibits such as actual objects, models, images, and graphic panels with interesting popular science texts and graphics. It transforms agricultural and technological knowledge into vivid and adorable biological images, presenting the diverse development of Taiwan’s agriculture through exhibit observation and interactive operation. It also incorporates interactive technology to take you to understand the general situation of Taiwan’s century-long agricultural development, agricultural economy, biological breeding, smart agriculture, and agricultural sustainable development. The exhibition hall also features a fully artificial light plant workshop allowing visitors to understand how to use technology to grow crops and nurture the growth process of life.

The exhibition hall is suitable for the general public, elementary and junior high school students and audiences interested in agricultural technology and agri-food education.

Some interactive exhibits require the use of an iPASS card. For exhibit audio guides and interactive experiences in the Smart Agricultural Zone, please register and log in on the ‘Mobile NSTM’ webpage: https://mobile.nstm.gov.tw/ (The webpage is currently available in Chinese only.)
The exhibition hall also holds promotional educational activities from time to time. Please follow our museum’s official website, Facebook, and the educational activity registration system for updates.

Focus

Genetic Code
This area showcases various common Taiwanese agricultural products, including pearly and plump rice grains, pectin-rich Aiyu jelly, tilapia, and Taiwanese sea bream. It also introduces various biotechnology techniques and knowledge. We welcome you to explore the origins of Taiwanese agriculture, the technological improvement in Taiwanese varieties, and their applications in daily life!
Smart Agricultural Zone
Agriculture combined with technology and management can be more efficient! Smart technology helps you identify pests, raise chickens and pigs smartly, and provide high-quality fresh milk! Note: Some exhibits require museum membership registration and login on the “Mobile NSTM” webpage >> Smart Exhibition >> The Story of Taiwan Agriculture Hall. (The webpage is currently available in Chinese only.)
Plant Workshop
Plant growth requires sunlight, air, and water. However, sudden heavy rainfall, drought, and other extreme weather events have severely impacted agriculture. The plant workshop in the exhibition hall simulate the light needed for plant growth through fully artificial LED lights and creates a vegetable production workshop free from pesticide and heavy metal concerns through hydroponics.
Safeguarding Genetic Resources
If emperor beans of various patterns, artificially cultivated fish species, eggs for cooking, etc. disappear due to environmental impacts, it will take twice the efforts to recover them. The gene bank of domestic crops, livestocks, aquaculture, and forest seeds will continue to develop and safeguard our home and precious genetic resources by making good use of seed preservation technology.
