The National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST; Chinese: 國立海洋科技博物館; pinyin: Guólì Hǎiyáng Kējì Bówùguǎn) is a museum of marine science and marine technology in Zhongzheng District, Keelung, Taiwan.
History
The museum building was originally constructed as the North Thermal Power Plant in 1937 by the Japanese government, the first power plant in Taiwan constructed on a reclaimed land.[1] The power plant was decommissioned in 1981 and left abandoned for 20 years. In 2001, the plan to convert the former power plant into a museum was unveiled. The building was designated as a historical building in 2004 by Keelung City Government.[2] The museum was opened by Premier Jiang Yi-huah on 26 January 2014.[3]
