The Executive Yuan is Taiwan’s central hub for making national policies; changes in its organization and function reflect the trajectory of the nation’s political and economic progress. To help the public understand the history of the Executive Yuan, an exhibit showcasing special collections and historical documents has been set up.
The exhibit is divided into five sections: History Gallery, Architecture of the Executive Yuan, Premiers of the Republic of China, Special Collections and Interactive Multimedia. Photographs, documents, historical items, explanatory text, a guide system and video showings help visitors retrace the path of the country’s development.
