The museum building used to be a timber storage building during the Japanese rule of Taiwan. The museum founder James Hsu and his friends collected resources to purchase and renovate the building in 2015.[1] In the same year, the museum building received subsidies for renovation from Chiayi City Government.[2]
The museum exhibits more than 4,000 pieces of classical style of tiles, especially from the year 1915–1935.[3]
The museum is accessible within walking distance northeast of Chiayi Station of Taiwan Railways.[4]
