In October that year, Taiwan's first natural history museum opened to the public in the Lottery Department Building (now the Po-ai Building, at the corner of today's Po-ai and Paoching Streets). The museum was called the Museum of the Governor-General of Taiwan Province.
同年 10 月，台灣第一座自然史博物館，利用當時閒置的「彩票局大樓」（即今博愛路與寶慶路口的博愛大樓）正式對外開館營運，定名為「台灣總督府民政部殖產局附屬博物館」。
