ABSTRACT
This chapter probes the intersections of transitional justice and human rights museums by considering what possibilities exist that may be productively activated in memory institutions that strive to support the objectives of transitional justice mechanisms. Towards this end, the chapter considers the roles of cultural approaches to transitional justice through an analysis of how museological features such as collections and archives, historical reconstructions and innovative forms of programming are used to address questions of memory, symbols and renderings of a State’s highly contested past with regards to the National Human Rights Museum in Taiwan inaugurated in 2018 on the memory sites of two former detention centres in Taipei and on Green Island.
