228 Memorial Park 二二八和平紀念公園 originally Taipei New Park, is a historic park located in Zhongzheng district. The building where the Taipei 2-28 Museum stands today is the former site of the Taipei Broadcasting Bureau. On February 28, 1947, an angry crowd took over the Taipei Broadcasting Station in the park to broadcast accusations against Nationalist administration, placing the park at the center of the 228 Incident. In 1996, the Taipei City Government designated the building as a site of historical significance in light of the 2-28 Incident and chose the site as the location of the present-day 2-28 Museum.
After the park was renamed, the 228 Monument was built at the center of the park, with the National Taiwan Museum on the northern side, and Taipei 228 Memorial Museum on the southeastern side.
