When first entering the exhibition space for "Ilha Formosa-Taiwan's Emergence on the World Scene in the 17th Century," you arrive at the cabin of an old wooden sailing ship that displays "Instruments of Maritime Supremacy." This exhibit connects, on one side, to an East Asian gallery focusing on Taiwan, and, on the other side, to a European gallery focusing on the Netherlands.
步入《福爾摩沙──十七世紀的台灣、荷蘭與東亞特展》展場，正中布置成一個船艙形的船舶區，連通著左右兩邊以台灣為主的東亞區，及以荷蘭為主的歐洲區，分為三大主題。
