Musashino Museum of Entomology Centennial Series Events
Starting from Mr. Yu Musheng's insect collection in 1919, the museum has now celebrated a century of history.
In 1986, Mr. Yu Qingjin established the Musashino Museum of Entomology to promote insect education. Located in Nan Cun Village, Puli, this private museum is considered a sanctuary for many veteran entomology enthusiasts in Taiwan.
This year, the Musashino Museum of Entomology, in collaboration with young partners from Puli, has launched a series of commemorative events to revive the charm of the "Butterfly Town." We sincerely invite our friends to join us.
