Cultural Features
The decline in the traditional performing arts and the difficulty of cultural transmission prompted the establishment of Taipei Puppet Theater in 2010. As one of the active puppet troupes among the new generation, the theater aims to preserve pò͘-tē-hì —Taiwanese glove puppetry and bringing it onto the international stage.

The site of the hall was originally occupied by the office compound of the imperial Qing government's top representative in Taiwan, which was constructed in 1845. The compound was once used as the presidential office of the short-lived Republic of Formosa by the republic's militia force for 10-some days in April 1895.
