Name

The name of the museum reflects its literal meaning of "bacteria treasure" in Taiwanese and its homonym of "very precious" in Taiwanese.

Objective

The museum aims to help providing a further understanding about bacteria, so that instead of knowing only about harmful bacteria in nature, the general public will be able to recognize some of the beneficial microbes for human life and then relieve their fears or phobias.[4]

History

In January 2011, the Bionin Biotechnology Inc. called for a group of experts in microorganism from Taiwan and the United States to found the Bionin Biotechnology Tourism Factory and Beneficial Microbes Museum.[5][6]

Transportation

The museum is accessible within walking distance northwest from Yilan Station of the Taiwan Railways Administration.
