History

The center was established in January 2002 as one of the agency of the Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA).[2] On 5 February 2005, the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act was amended which effectively made the NCFTA the authority for traditional arts and folk customs related to cultural artifacts. In 2007, CCA established the Preparatory Office of Cultural Heritage Administration in which some staffs of NCFTA were transferred to the new office.[3] In December 2015, Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits President Chen Deming toured the center during his 7-day visit around Taiwan.[4]
