History
The museum was inaugurated in 1999, on Human Rights Day, in honor of Cheng Nan-jung's lifelong struggle for freedom. The museum was built on the site of Cheng Nan-jung's self-immolation on 7 April 1989, which was an act of protesting the government curbing of the 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 the Taipei Metro.[citation needed]
