The National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL), founded on October 17th,2003, is the first national museum dedicated to the literary arts.
The museum building has a distinguished history tracing back to 1916,when it was built to house the Tainan Prefectural Government. Reflecting contemporary European architectural styling, it is one of several well-known works by architect Moriyama Matsunosuke on the island. Other Matsunosuke projects include the current Office of the President (Sotokufu) and Control Yuan in Taipei. The building was damaged during WWII and suffered decades of neglect before serious restoration work was commenced in 1997.Reopened in 2003, the building is today a focal point of island literature,culture, architecture and history, and a successful example of both restoration and revitalization.
The NMTL records, organizes and explains Taiwan’s literary heritage. Archives and displays include examples from indigenous Malayo-Polynesian cultures as well as from key periods in Taiwan history – from the Dutch, Ming / Koxinga,Qing and Japanese periods through modern times. Educational activities promote awareness of Taiwan literary traditions. The museum includes literature and children’s literature reading rooms as well as a literary experience center designed to both excite and educate.

1991年行政院文化建設委員會提出設立「現代文學資料館」計畫，經行政院通過，但1994年調整政策，將「現代文學資料館」併入「文化資產保存研究中心計劃」，設「文學史料組」，後經各界關切台灣文學發展人士奔走，多次協商、溝通，行政院於1998年復將「文學史料組」提升為「國家文學館」，歷經「國家臺灣文學館」等名稱討論，於2007年定名為「國立臺灣文學館」。
國立台灣文學館館舍是一座擁有百年歷史的國定古蹟，前身為日治時期台南州廳，落成於1916年，戰後曾為空戰供應司令部、台南市政府所用。
