The Cheng Nan-jung Liberty Museum (traditional Chinese: 鄭南榕自由紀念館; simplified Chinese: 郑南榕自由纪念馆) is a museum in Songshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. The museum is dedicated to the pro-democracy activist Cheng Nan-jung.

History

The museum was inaugurated in 1999, on Human Rights Day, in honor of Cheng Nan-jung's lifelong struggle for freedom. It was built on the site of Cheng Nan-jung's self-immolation on 7 April 1989, which was an act of protest against the government's curbing of freedom of speech.[1]

Exhibitions

Original manuscripts and objects belonging to Cheng Nan-jung are housed in the museum. There are also several copies of magazines from the Freedom Era.[2]

Transportation

The museum is accessible within walking distance northeast from Zhongshan Junior High School Station of Taipei Metro.[citation needed]
