At 01:47AM on September 21, 1999, the central part of Taiwan was struck by an earthquake that registered 7.3 on the Richter Scale. The resultant loss of life and damage to property put it among the worst natural disasters of the past century in Taiwan. In the wake of the 921 disaster, the local government decided to preserve some of the phenomena related to the earthquake such as slips in the fault line, collapsed school structures, raised river beds and other selected locations, to serve as reminders for the public of the need to prepare for such disasters and to be ready to provide emergency rescue services. With the rebuilding of Kwangfu Junior High on its present site, the Earthquake Memorial Museum was renamed the 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan on February 13, 2001. The new plan retains the original sites as a record of the damage wrought by the earthquake, and it also adds educational facilities designed to inform the public and school children about earthquakes and disaster readiness.

This is well worth your time. We took a cab drive here and back. The museum is built around the ruins of a junior high school, where luckily no one was killed due to the quake happening in the middle of the night. The displays and signs are very interesting, with areas educating visitors on earthquakes, tsunamis, being prepared and what went wrong. There is an area that is free, which includes the snack bar/cafe, so if you want to eat there keep your ticket handy to get back into the paid area. We enjoyed the museum and the snack bar and wished we had more time to explore.
