The establishment of the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology can be traced back to “rescue excavation work” undertaken at the Shihsanhang Site in 1990. At that time the Taiwan Provincial Government’s Department of Housing and Development planned to build a sewage treatment plant in the area. As a result, a group of noted archaeologists launched a campaign to save the Shihsanhang Site, which quickly received wide public support. This successfully resulted in the area being designated a Historical Site - Second class and part of the original site was ordered preserved. In 1992 the Executive Yuan ordered Taipei County government to establish a Shihsanhang Site Exhibition Room to display objects unearthed in the area. In 1998 this was renamed the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology and given the central objectives of preserving and displaying artifacts unearthed at the Shihsanhang Site, serving as an archaeology museum for all of northern Taiwan and an educational center, teaching people about the importance of the area. After its official opening in 2003, the Museum has also become an Ecomuseum of the Bali Left Bank.
