Meinong District Meinong Hakka Cultural Museum
Founded in 2001 and located by the Meinong Lake, the Meinong Hakka Cultural Museum aims to tell stories featuring Hakka culture and become a cultural museum promoting local Meinong Hakka characteristics. The museum was designed by Hsieh Ying-chun Architects, featuring a siheyuan-esque design to exhibit language, clothing, food, housing, music, and nature. The east wing extends to the front and back of the main building to form a “single wing” layout. Structurally, béton brut (raw concrete) and steel roof trusses fortifies the building, and the exterior is covered in black steel tiles to create a simple, clean, and monochromatic look.
美濃／美濃客家文物館
上個世紀的最後10年之間，「美濃反水庫運動」引發全國關注，不同世代青壯年先後投入返鄉，後續影響遍及全島，而今天的美濃客家文物館，也是在這樣的時空背景之下孕育而生。
美濃客家文物館位於美濃湖旁，旨將美濃客家文化以故事性方式呈現，成為具美濃地方特色的文物館，成立於2001年，由謝英俊建築師事務所設計。
館藏陳列美濃地區語言、衣飾、美食、屋宅、音樂、自然等多元面向展示，建築配置約略為一四合院格局。惟東側廂房於建築本體往前後雙向延伸，成為一加長之「單伸手」形式。結構以清水混凝土與鋼構屋架為主體，覆灰黑色鋼瓦，使建築呈現簡單乾淨的灰黑調性。參訪者身處當代技術與材質建造而成的文物館中，也能同時體會傳統美濃客家民居的空間場所氛圍。
