The National Human Rights Museum has set up a booth at this year’s Taipei International Book Exhibition. On Tuesday the museum said in a press release that the booth will invite readers to pay tribute to Taiwan’s human rights’ history while learning about the future of human rights development.

 

The museum says the exhibition area’s design is based on the infinity sign. It says with the symbol it hopes the progression of human rights can include facing the past, preserving historic sites, and thinking about the future. 

 

Beyond displaying new books that deal with human rights issues, the booth will also include a VR area to show the award winning move “The Man Who Couldn’t Leave.” The movie tells the story of those imprisoned in the infamous Green Island prison during the 1950s. The exhibition area will also play audiobooks about the country’s martial law period, known as the White Terror.

 

The museum plans on holding a number of lectures from scholars specializing in human rights and history. Museum officials say learning can not only help reflect on past mistakes, but also consider future possibilities.
