Hong Gah Museum is located in a cultural town, Beitou, surrounded by Ketagalan Museum, Hot Spring Museum, and Beitou Museum. We have done the interview in Hong Gah Museum because of its Beitou pottery exhibitions in 2003 and 2013 respectively. Especially in 2013, the successful century pottery exhibition has drawn our attention to understand further about their effort on promotion Beitou pottery art.

Mr. Su has assumed the director for more than a year, through the interview, we know that Hong Gah works on the exhibitions of traditional embroidery, painting, and other artworks. These days, they try to walk out of the museum and cooperate with local community and school. Hopefully art can be a part of daily life for the locals, such as the event of Beitou Vision hold by them this year. In the future, Hong Ga will invite artists from overseas. Internationalization is also a way for them to promote Beitou culture.
