The re-use of historic sites as museums is an important issue no matter from the perspective of preservation of cultural heritage or museum development. This study attempts to integrate the discussion on historic sites and museums in the analysis of the regulations and systems of historic site re-use as museums. In addition, the various stages in the process will be looked at, including historic site designation (or registration), restoration and re-use, as well as the current situation and problems, with the focus on Taiwan's capital, Taipei City. This study found that the type of museum is very closely related to the original purpose of the historic site. For example, those designated as "point" are more likely to become an official residence museum and those designated as "district" to become an eco-museum. In addition, regulations differ according to the ownership of the historic site, which can be divided into the following categories: 1) public ownership with public management, 2) public ownership with private management, 3) private ownership with self management, 4) private ownership with management by another private entity. This paper also found that to September 2008, there is a ratio of public to private ownership of 6:1 among cases of historic site re-use as museum in Taipei City. In addition, the ratio of public owned properties with public management to public owned properties with private management is 1:1. Lastly, this paper stresses that re-use of historic sites as museums is a very important issue in Taiwan. Therefore, the author hopes that the results of this study can be used to better develop re-use of historical sites as museums. After all, this type of development can enrich appreciation of culture and arts among city residents, as well as their quality of life. Museums have also become important globally, shaping urban images, enhancing cultural tourism and elevating the cultural economy.
