An exhibition documenting the lives of ROC nationals in Taiwan during the 20th century opened Jan. 13 at National Museum of Taiwan History in Tainan City.

Running until Oct. 23, Exhibition of Donated Collection features more than 400 items from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) and after World War II gifted by 300 patrons. These include books, cameras, diaries, dresses, industrial equipment, maps, photos, ritual utensils, scripts, toys and videos.

NMTH Director Lu Li-cheng said the event represents five years of public donations and is testament to the joys and trial and tribulations of everyday people during a period of great change.     [FULL  STORY]
