The Yeh-Shyr-Tau Literary Memorial Museum (traditional Chinese: 葉石濤文學紀念館; simplified Chinese: 叶石涛文学纪念馆; pinyin: Yè Shítāo Wénxué Jìniànguǎn) is a memorial hall dedicated to Yeh Shih-tao in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan.

History[edit]

The building where the memorial hall is housed today used to be the Tainan Forestry Affairs Office. In 2002, the building was designed as a historical building by Tainan City Government. The building was then converted into Yeh Shih-tao Literature Memorial Hall which was opened on 11 August 2012 by the Bureau of Cultural Affairs of the city government to commemorate and pay tribute to Yeh Shih-tao, a Tainan-born Taiwanese literature legend and writer. The opening ceremony was attended by Tainan Mayor William Lai.[1]

Architecture[edit]

The building has two floors. The first floor consists of the main exhibition floor, displaying Yeh's commemorative souvenirs. The second floor consists of the restoration of his room and a little theater showing the introduction of him and his accomplishments.[1]

Transportation[edit]

The building is accessible within walking distance south west of Tainan Station of Taiwan Railways.
