Introduction

This hall was established in memory of Dr. Hu Shih, an early advocate of liberalism and an academic known for his "boldness in hypothesis and care in corroboration." A former ambassador to the United States and head of Peking University in China, Dr. Hu returned to Taiwan to serve as president of Academia Sinica. The Hu Shih Memorial Hall was established on December 10, 1962, in the same year that Dr. Hu passed away. It is located at the Nangang residence where Dr. Hu lived during his tenure at Academia Sinica.
The Hu Shih Memorial Hall is divided into three areas, including Dr. Hu's former residence, a display room, and Dr. Hu's tomb. The surrounding grounds were turned into Hu Shih Park in 1974.

Interesting exhibits on a key figure in Chinese cultural history

2020-01

One of the more influential figures in cultural history of modern China. Learned some interesting things about Hu Shih, including that fact that he had honorary degrees for 7 of the 8 Ivies (except his undergraduate alma mater - Cornell, which was a bit surprising). His residence in Academia Sinica, which was preserved after his death, was also on display. Generally speaking pretty enjoyable visit, and if you are visiting the cluster of museums in Academia Sinica you probably have an interest in Chinese culture etc, so enjoy if you do find the time to go to Nangang

Memorable Memorial

The entrance hall contains a complete exhibit on Hu Shih, his life and his writing, with adequate signage in English. Photography is allowed. Beyond the exhibition hall is his residence, which also is quite interesting. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed within his house. Grounds are quite nice and the location is an easy walk from a nearby bus stop.

民国大师，和蒋介石齐名的文武双雄。

冒着酷暑来到中央研究院，拜会仰慕已久的适之先生。展馆小而精，把先生的一生讲的清清楚楚，评价客观公正，看到有些文字背后的情感，比如跟母亲的，跟妻子的，虽然过去了一百年，还是禁不住偷偷落泪。心中永远的民国大师第一人。

可敬可愛

2016-08

只曉得胡適是《差不多先生傳》的作者，直到參觀紀念館才認識這位先賢。紀念館分為陳列館、故居與紀念公園三部份。陳列館介紹胡適生平，展出生前用品，特展介紹胡適父親胡傳顛沛流離的一生。故居為一九五八至一九六二年間胡適在台灣擔任中研院院長的住宅，大致保持原貌。紀念公園即是胡適墓園。約略看完展覽，感受昔日器物的溫度，有哲人日已遠，典型在夙昔之嘆，最後竟然買了胡適照片嘉言集－－為甚麼那時會以送自己照片給人為風尚呢？真有趣。
