The origins of the National Museum of Prehistory (NMP) can be traced back to the beginning of construction of the new Taitung train station in 1980, which led to the discovery of the Peinan site—the most complete settlement site unearthed in the history of Taiwanese archaeology and boasting the largest cluster of slate coffin graves in Southeast Asia and the Circum-Pacific Belt. In response to calls for the preservation of the cultural heritage of this site and others, the Main Museum of the NMP was built to the south of the Kangle train station. In addition, plans were drawn up to build the Peinan Site Park in the area of the Peinan site. Also established was the Museum of Archaeology, Tainan Branch of NMP (at the Southern Taiwan Science Park in Tainan), which possesses the most complete record of the cultural layers in southwestern Taiwan.

The NMP underwent nearly three years of architectural reconstruction and updates to its permanent exhibitions. On May 19, 2023, the reopening ceremony was held under the theme of “Encounters: Taiwan and the World." The renovation focused on the complete revamping of the “The Prehistory of Taiwan" and the “Austronesian Hall," as well as the addition of the interactive “Discovery Hall" for parent-child learning. With these significant changes, The NMP aims to locate itself as a hub for exploring Taiwan’s history and Austronesian culture with these changes.
