In an effort to reach more people and expand awareness of human rights, the National Human Rights Museum also puts on the Taiwan International Human Rights Festival, an opportunity to promote human rights education and teaches visitors about the essence of transitional justice. The 2018 Taiwan International Human Rights Film Festival, entitled Through the Looking-glass, showcased nine films from Taiwan and abroad that trace public resistance to authoritarianism and led the audience to explore human rights issues and collective memory in Taiwan.

In addition to the film festival, the Museum has also launched a “mobile museum” initiative, adapting its distinctive and well-received human rights exhibitions to use as content for public outreach purposes in schools, cultural institutions, and non-governmental groups. In 2019, the Human Rights Stories Mobile Exhibition offers four themed special exhibitions that cover historical context and collective memory, the regime, sites of persecution, and the stories of victims and their families in a wide-ranging examination of human rights abuses on both small and large scales during the White Terror era.
