The Taiwan Music Institute (TMI; {{zh|t=臺灣音樂館|s=台湾音乐馆|first=t|p=Táiwān Yīnyuè Guǎn}}), established in January 2002 and formerly known as the Research Institute of Musical Heritage and Taiwan Music Center{{Cite book |last=陳郁秀 |title=〈臺灣音樂中心（國立）〉，《臺灣音樂百科辭書》 |publisher=遠流出版公司 |year=2008 |location=臺北市 |pages=738–739}}, was renamed the Taiwan Music Institute in 2012 as a research, collection, exhibition and promotion organization for Taiwan music. It operates under the auspices of the National Center for Traditional Arts (NCFTA) under the Ministry of Culture. The Institute is located within the premises of Taiwan Traditional Theatre Center in Shilin District, Taipei City, and has a music archive on the second floor. The collection of books and audiovisual materials focuses on traditional ethnic music in Taiwan, supplemented by Asian, Pacific, and world ethnic music.

History
In 1990, recognizing the need to comprehensively research, preserve, and promote the cultural heritage of ethnic music, the Council for Cultural Affairs of the Executive Yuan (now known as the Ministry of Culture) established the “Center of Musical Heritage Preparatory Team.” Liu Wann-Hong championed this initiative as the convener, and Hsu Tsang-Houei served as the vice-convener, jointly spearheading the necessary preparatory work of software and infrastructure.
By July 29, 1997, the Preparatory Office for the Center of Ethnic Music was officially operational. In line with government restructuring policies in June 2000, the Council for Cultural Affairs revisited its organizational mandate and functional priorities. Consequently, in January 2001, it merged with the Preparatory Office of the National Center for Traditional Arts (NCFTA).{{cite web|date=15 July 2019|url=https://en.ncfta.gov.tw/taiwanmusic_134.html|title=Taiwan Music Institute|website=National Center for Traditional Arts|accessdate=15 July 2019}}
In January 2002, with the issuance of the “Temporary Organization Regulations of the National Center for Traditional Arts” and the “Personnel Establishment Table of the National Center for Traditional Arts”, the National Center for Traditional Arts was officially inaugurated{{Cite web |author=趙靜瑜 |date=2007-08-13 |title=民族音樂研究所 處境困難 |url=https://art.ltn.com.tw/article/paper/147295 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810234429/https://art.ltn.com.tw/article/paper/147295 |archive-date=2023-08-10 |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=自由藝文}}. This entailed the establishment of the “Research Institute of Ethnic Music” as its specialized branch, responsible for the investigation, collection, research, preservation, and promotion of ethnic music.
Initially, the Research Institute was situated at No. 26, Hangzhou N. Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, and commenced operations to the public on October 29, 2003.{{Cite journal |last=健怡 |date=2007-08-01 |title=來去民族音樂研究所 |url=https://www.mjib.gov.tw/FileUploads/eBooks/2a4667375cf6460bb7da32b8525cf316/Section_file/5a8179828f444153a1387524f8195bff.pdf |journal=清流月刊 |volume=2007年8月號 |issue= |access-date=2023-08-10}} In 2008, the organization’s name was changed to the Taiwan Music Center to reflect organizational reorganization. With the promulgation of the Organic Act of the National Center for Traditional Arts on June 29, 2011, and the subsequent establishment of the Ministry of Culture in May 2012, the Center was rebranded as the Taiwan Music Institute. March 2017 saw its relocation to No. 751, Wenlin Road, Shihlin District, Taipei City. The new premises, alongside its permanent exhibitions, were graciously unveiled to the public on October 3 of the same year.{{Cite book |last=臺灣音樂館 |title=臺灣音樂館 |publisher=國立傳統藝術中心 |year=2018 |location=宜蘭縣}}{{Cite book |last=林芷柔 |title=博物館之聲音蒐藏、詮釋與應用——以國立臺灣歷史博物館「愛聽臺灣100年」系列為例 |publisher=國立臺北藝術大學博物館研究所 碩士論文 |year=2020 |location=臺北市}}
