History

The museum opened at a location in Xindian on 20 March 1966, on the 70th anniversary of Chunghwa Post. Due to remoteness of the Xindian location and the lack of space, the museum was moved to its present location in the Nanhai Academy in 1984.[1]

Transportation

The museum is within walking distance of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station of the Taipei Metro.
