Tamsui Historical Museum Joins Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network
The Tamsui Historical Museum in Taiwan has joined the Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network, marking a significant step in the museum's international collaborations. The joining ceremony took place during the annual meeting of the network, held in Osaka, Japan.
Photographs shared by the Tamsui Historical Museum offer a visual representation of the event. The photos show the presence of all three individuals involved: Tsai Mei-chih, the director of the Tamsui Historical Museum, Yoshiharu Okayama, the secretary-general of the Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network, and Nadia Purwestri, the managing director of Pusat Dokumentasi Arsitektur Indonesia.
The Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network, based in Japan, appears to be a network of museums and historical sites that celebrate and study the legacy of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The VOC played a crucial role in the Netherlands' commercial and maritime history during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Tamsui Historical Museum became a member of the network last month, but further details about the ceremony or the reasons for the museum's joining were not provided. The photo does not offer any new insights into these matters, but it does serve as formal documentation of the museum's membership in the network.
The Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network, with the Tamsui Historical Museum as its newest member, continues to grow and strengthen its international connections, fostering a greater understanding of the shared history between various nations.
The Tamsui Historical Museum's cultural-travel itinerary may now include visits to other member museums in the Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network, enriching its lifestyle with a diversity of historical perspectives. As the Tamsui Historical Museum journeys into this international partnership, it will likely collaborate on travel exhibits focusing on the Dutch East India Company trade, such as those displaying in Osaka or Pusat Dokumentasi Arsitektur Indonesia.
