Celebrating 20 Years of the Gold Museum, Friends Come to Offer Their Blessings

The New Taipei City Gold Museum is approaching its 20th anniversary and has specially planned a series of events called "20 Years of Friendship at the Gold Museum." Through these events, you are invited to experience the captivating mining culture and share in the joy of this milestone celebration!

An interactive puzzle-solving activity will be featured, allowing visitors to explore various exhibition areas inside and outside the museum while completing missions. By finishing the tasks, participants will have a chance to receive limited-edition commemorative gifts and enter a raffle for a 20th-anniversary gold coin! From November 2 to November 4, a market will be held, offering a variety of delicious food and fun stalls. This event will also include vibrant performances by local schools and performing groups, creating a joyful large-scale birthday party.

Additionally, since 2010, the Gold Museum has engaged in a series of exchanges with the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine World Heritage Center in Ōda City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. These exchanges have included special exhibitions, research presentations, and fieldwork. On November 4, the museum will host representatives from the Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center, members of the Shimane Prefecture Council, the Ōda City Department of Education, the Shimane Prefecture Cultural Property Division, and the Ōda City Tourism Association. A sister museum agreement signing ceremony will be held, marking a significant occasion for both institutions.
