In 1930, the Losheng Sanatorium was established in Taipei County, Taiwan, by the Japanese colonial regime to confine and treat patients with leprosy. More than a thousand people were eventually segregated there. In 2002 however, the sanatorium was chosen as the location for the construction of a new maintenance depot for the Taipei metro, a decision which led to calls for the site to be preserved. In 2007, the Losheng Story Museum was opened in the sanatorium. Residents are empowered to participate in the making of exhibition and share their experiences. The paper aims at analyzing the making of the exhibition of the Losheng Story Museum and discussing the meanings, strategies and ethic conflicts of representing disability by two exhibitions. The museum’s旧approach to interpretation - one that draws on and contextualizes residents’ perspectives on their own experiences - is compared to that employed in an earlier photographic exhibition that documented life at the institution and which was displayed in a fine art museum setting to explore the ethical issues bound up in attempts to represent disability in the public sphere. As a site for critical education, it suggests that the museum should empower more residents to participate to challenge the social prejudices.
