Xianguang 2nd Village: Envisioning the Migration Museum

*Xianguang 2nd Village: Envisioning the Migration Museum* takes Taoyuan's Xianguang 2nd Village as a starting point, linking military dependents' village preservation, migrant memories, and museum visions. Starting from Taoyuan as a microcosm of a migrant society, the book introduces village culture, historical architecture, villagers' lives, botanical memories, artistic actions, and community participation, gradually outlining how a migration museum grows from a local site.

This book combines the characteristics of a local gazetteer, a record of cultural heritage, and a museum planning text. It not only reviews the village history and architectural vocabulary of Xianguang 2nd Village but also looks at international cases of migration museums, proposing an ecomuseum strategy where "the entirety of Taoyuan is a migration museum." Readers can understand how the preservation of military dependents' villages transcends nostalgia to become a public cultural project facing diverse ethnic groups and the next generation.
