The proposal for the Huagang Museum originated at the time of the founding of the Huagang Academy. Founder Mr. Chang Chi-yun, on March 1, 1962, established the "Charter of Founding," which outlined the principle of integrating "higher education (university), academic research (graduate institute), and service promotion (enterprise)" as the guideline for establishing the school. He adopted the principle of giving equal importance to "libraries and museums," leading to the proposal of establishing a museum. The preparatory period for the Huagang Museum lasted for 8 years. Its predecessor was the "Chinese Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall" established in Dacheng Hall in 1963, which moved to Daren Hall in 1965 and was renamed "Cultural Relics Museum." In 1969, it was renamed the "International Chinese Studies Documentation Exhibition Hall." To adapt to this evolution, it underwent three stages of enrichment and development. In terms of daily administration such as the collection and preservation of cultural relics, a museum was first established within the library, collectively referred to as the Library-Museum. Subsequently, a museum division was set up within the Chinese Academy of Arts to exclusively handle its affairs. In 1971, the Huagang Museum was officially established on the 6th floor of Dayi Hall, becoming the first comprehensive university museum in Taiwan and the largest university community museum. The Huagang Museum, on one hand, assists in teaching and provides resources for general education, while also fulfilling its role in social education and community engagement.
