In response to the International Mother Language Day, which is observed annually on Feb. 21, as designated by UNESCO, the Ministry of Culture launched the first edition of the National Language and Culture Festival at Taiwan Literature Base on Feb. 18.
National Museum of Taiwan History has signed a letter of intent with the Belgian Comic Strip Center, a museum in Brussels. NMTH aims to leverage the Belgian museum's rich experience while promoting research, collection, exhibition, and educational and cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Belgium.
A special exhibition showcasing the history of Taiwan's human rights was well received in Japan. The event, which was held in Tokyo from September to November last year, was extended for two additional weeks and even received front-page coverage on the Asahi Shimbun (Japanese-language newspaper).
