Our mission is to use the model of profes- sional museum management to create an edu- cational platform for increasing understand- ing of the religious and cultural traditions of the world and the wholesome values con- tained therein, a process designed to have a positive influence on individuals and society. Picking up on the Council for Cultural Affairs policy of establishing “museums of local culture,” in recent years the MWR has been working to link up local cultural attrac- tions with community vitality as a way of promoting general cultural literacy, creativity, and appreciation of local culture. The MWR has been selected as one of the key museums of the Panshi Plan, a part of the second phase of the Museums of Local Culture Project being sponsored by the Council for Cultural Affairs and the Taibei County Cultural Affairs Bureau. Moreover, the MWR has also become the featured museum of Taibei County in the Plan's Haishan Cultural Circle. The first phase of the Museum of Local Culture Project ran from 2002 to 2007, and granted the MWR a total of NT$3.42 million in funding. The second phase of the project ran from 2008 to 2009, during which time the MWR received a total of NT$1.6 million in funding for its education programs and the special exhibition Models of Contemporary Religious Architecture. During this time the MWR also received NT$810,000 from the Taibei County government for infrastructure improvements and the installation of public art at the main entrance. In 2010 the MWR has already received a total of NT$2.68 mil- lion in funding from the Project: NT$1.96 million for expansion, development, and ren- ovations; NT$700,000 for education and the special exhibition Spirit of the Ancestors; and NT$200,000 for the Haishan Cultural Circle Project. The MWR endeavors to make use of such precious government funding to pro- mote and present the uniqueness of local cul- ture. By bringing together the rich and varied skills available in the local community—civil servants, educators, and volunteers—we can promote the vitality of local culture and make a practical contribution to the development of a harmonious society based on the ideals of love and peace.
