The National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Chinese: 國立國父紀念館; pinyin: Guólì Guófù Jìniànguǎn) is located in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a memorial to the Republic of China's Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen, and was completed in 1976. As the hall was opened in the very beginning, its main displays were revolutionary events of the national father at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Recently it became a multi-purpose social, educational and cultural center for the Taiwanese public.
