Hu Shih Memorial Hall
About This Museum
It’s a little-known fact that one of China’s most influential intellectuals, Hu Shih, spent his final years in this unassuming Taipei bungalow. Stepping inside feels less like entering a museum and more like interrupting the scholar at work, with his personal library and study preserved just as he left them. The air is thick with the quiet history of a man who championed vernacular Chinese and modern thought. You half expect to hear the rustle of paper or the scratch of his pen.
Collection Highlights
You can pore over his heavily annotated books, glimpse candid moments in family photographs, and even see his iconic round spectacles resting on a desk. A poignant display holds the simple suit he was wearing when he suffered his fatal heart attack.
Visitor Information
Tucked away on the campus of Academia Sinica in Nangang, it's a quiet retreat from the city bustle. It's small, so you don't need more than an hour to soak it all in.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a modest, single-story green-and-white residence from the mid-20th century, blending Japanese and Western influences typical of its era.
