Our museum will be open to public but our main target audience is

students. Because it is said that museums bring history to life. Seeing

something in person is quite different than seeing it on the pages of a
book or on a computer screen. In fact, research shows that those who
have firsthand experience are more likely to retain it later in life. Nothing
compares to seeing something with your own eyes. Also, because our
museum will serve to help younger generations comprehend their history
and recognize the achievements of those who came before them. Our
museum is an institution charged with conserving, protecting and
displaying artifacts from our past and thus preserving our rich heritage
which might otherwise be lost to private collectors or to time itself. We
want our museum to remind them not to lose the tangible links to our
past.

For our sponsors: The new rule for museum sponsors is that museums and
galleries will be required to scrutinize the ethical standards of companies
that provide sponsorship in the future under new rules. It does not say
museums should avoid any specific types of company, but does say
museums must find sponsors who share their "ethical values". It also says
sponsors should not exert influence over the contents of exhibitions.
Museums must be clear about who funds exhibitions. The public don't like
it if they feel the wool's been pulled over their eyes, if they find out that
the content of an exhibition has been influenced by the company that
sponsored it. The public trust museums to tell a straight story. So, for our
sponsors, were hoping that we could find a couple of companies that
would like to fund our museum because working with a local museum or
gallery can also help a company to deliver its corporate social
responsibility (CSR) strategy. Companies keen to show staff and local
politicians that they are about more than just making money will support
local museums and galleries to demonstrate their commitment to the
community. What companies are looking for in sponsoring a museum is a
sense that the museum is well run and there is robust measurement of
impact in place, as well as how many people will be coming to exhibitions
and where from - local, national or international. To persuade them to
sponsor our museum, we have to find projects which happen to coincide
with the strategic objectives of the donor, so well draw up a menu of
projects that people might support. First, well scrutinize our own project
so we are in a position to demonstrate to potential funders how its "reach"
will meet their own promotional goals. Second, well examine the projects
that companies already support to see where ours might match their
priorities. And third, If we cannot offer 'prestige' as a small museum, we
may be able to provide other benefits to a company, such as helping it
demonstrate its corporate social responsibility.

For the curatorial team, I think the best person to be in our curatorial
team would be a historian because our museum talk a lot about
colonization era from hundreds of years ago and it also focus on dutch
formosa period and history of sea power which most people don't
remember anymore that's why we need someone that have high interest
on the topic and know a lot about it to arrange the exhibition. And if I
would to give an example of the historian from taiwan, maybe it would be
Chou Wan-yao that graduated from Ph.D., Yale University and now work in
NTU. Also Lee Wen-liang Ph.D., that graduated from National Taiwan
University. Chou Wan-yao Research Fields are History of Taiwan During the
Japanese Colonial Period, Qing Dynasty Women's History. Meanwhile , Lee
Wen-liang Research Field is about Taiwanese History. We would also
welcome people who major in art history to be in our curatorial group

People usually says its all in the past, or the past is not important. Some
people believed what happened in the past (like the colonization era) is
not important anymore because it happened hundreds years ago. But
theyre wrong. We built this museum, so we can change their mindset
about the importance of the past. Our museum is built and maintained for
people to actually see items and artifacts of a past era in order to make
connections and sense of the present, and even possibly speculate on the
future. Through our museum, well remind people how important is the
past and there will be no present without the past.
