The Museum of Medical Humanities is the former building of the Faculty of Medicine of Taihoku Imperial University during the Japanese colonial era. The earliest structure dates back to 1907, designed by Japanese architect Juro Kondo, with the main building completed in 1913. Despite a century passing and undergoing multiple restorations, the original architectural style has been largely preserved. The building's function evolved with the school's development, from classrooms, administrative center, hub for medical academic activities in Taiwan, base for medical education reform, to a place for medical humanities education, until the museum was established in 2008. The museum features both permanent and special exhibitions. Permanent exhibitions include 'The Birth of Life,' 'Where Do Taiwanese Come From?', and 'The Struggle of Taiwanese Against Diseases.' Special exhibitions are updated every six months, with the exhibition concept focusing on the impact and reflections brought about by medical advancements, and these exhibitions tour other medical education institutions. The museum's architectural style is late French Renaissance. The lobby, main walls, and columns are adorned with elegant lines and carvings, exuding grandeur. The lobby and corridors feature numerous arcades with graceful designs. The original roof design was Mansard style, covered with slate tiles and copper, with small round windows on the sloping roof. However, a fire in 1930 destroyed the roof, and after restoration, it lost its original appearance from when it was first built.
