More than 15,000 items have been collected since 2016, when the Taiwan Hakka Culture Development Center’s Taiwan Hakka Museum in Miaoli County began to collect Hakka cultural relics from various sources. Beginning in 2018, it has taken the collection of cultural relics as an important task, and carried out important work such as rebuilding its warehouse equipment, as well as proposing and soliciting items for its collection. The 15,000 items are now displayed as a permanent exhibition, which selects classical items to share with the public, while also teaching visitors about the process of collection and research.

The Taiwan Hakka Museum takes as its theme the world’s Hakka people and Taiwan’s Hakka people. Its aim is to enable the continuation and preservation of Hakka culture. The museum’s exhibition uses the center’s collection strategy as the centerpiece of its curatorial work. The content of its exhibition is based on three categories: "Collection Stories", "Collection Journey", and "Review and Prospect" to show the rich Hakka cultural relics and collection management policies. In terms of "Collection Stories", the museum mainly displays the classic cultural relics collected by the museum. The display is divided into three parts: economic, social, and cultural. The exhibit items include Liudui’s leader Lai Hsiung-fei’s broad sword, Chiu Feng-chia’s scholar plaque, a copy of the Mauritius Chinese Daily News, Chiang Chang-jung’s imperial exam papers and official hat, the late Hakka writer Chung Chao-cheng’s calligraphy on the title inscription of his "Yangmei Trilogy", Hakka author Huang Juan’s literary manuscripts, Hakka poet Zhan Bing’s cultural relics, and Chung Tsai-hsiang's manuscripts relating to bayin music.
