Reconfiguration and planning of the existing space in the Yunlin hand puppet theatre museum

The Yunlin County government plans to establish the "Yunlin Hand Puppet Study Center" near the Yunlin High Speed Rail Station, and move the hand puppet artifacts from the existing museum. As a result, the Yunlin Hand Puppet Theatre Museum is facing a new challenge to transform itself. The researcher conducted a literature review to understand the history and the current situation of the museum, and took up residency in the museum along with fifteen young people for study purposes. Based on the reconfiguration and planning of the existing space, art curatorship and event design was used to rejuvenate and reutilize the building. The researcher has identified an effective utilization of space that can allow the building to retain its original function of displaying the hand puppet theater while also becoming a place for nurturing talent for local cultural centers in Yunlin.
