»The Ama Museum (traditional Chinese: 阿嬤家-和平與女性人權館; simplified Chinese: 阿嬷家-和平与女性人权馆; pinyin: Āmā Jiā-Hépíng Yǔ Nǚxìng Rénquán Guǎn) is a museum dedicated to comfort women in Taiwan. It opened in 2016, in Datong District, Taipei. The original location closed in November 2020, and the museum was scheduled to relocate and reopen in April 2021.
The museum is dedicated to those who were comfort women during the Japanese rule of Taiwan. Ama means grandmother in Taiwanese Hokkien, referring to the advanced age of those who had survived World War II.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
