Taiwan’s first major exhibition exploring the musical developments of the 1930s Step back a century in the history of sound and uncover the modern melodies of a bold new era. When the phonograph revolutionized the world, Taiwan’s record industry was born—ushering in not only a new era of music, but also an age of free love and women’s empowerment. This exhibition traces the full history of Taiwan’s pre-war music industry, revealing how female vocalists, producers, lyricists, composers, and record companies came together to form a vibrant, liberated network of sound. Discover a treasure trove of never-before-seen lyric manuscripts and original recordings, and experience the transformative power of the phonograph through immersive displays that bring the birth of Taiwanese pop music to life. Listen again—to the pulse of the modern age.
