National Taiwan Museum — Attraction in Taipei

Excellent museum! Other reviewers mentioned that entry was NTD30, but for some reason, they were letting everyone in for free when I went. The museum offered a beautifully displayed exploration into Taiwanese culture, flora and fauna, with a specific focus on indigenous Taiwanese groups.

While there were a few school groups visiting at the same time as me, I felt able to explore the museum at my own pace and relatively undisturbed.

The B1 floor held an interactive display aimed at children. On 1F, there was a special exhibition on the castles and chateaus of the Czech Republic. There was also an exhibition on the role of signing insects in Chinese fables and proverbs. On 2F, there were displays on native plants and animals, as well as indigenous cultures. On 3F, there were displays on the history of the Japanese influence on natural and geological surveys and research in Taiwan, among other things.

Every display and sign was in both Chinese and English. My favourite display was the wall that allowed you to listen to the different environments in Taiwan. The taxidermy was not great in some areas, but I think these were older specimens, so that's understandable.

It took me around 2 hours to walk around the whole museum, and was a great way to...

The National Taiwan Museum was a fantastic surprise and one of the highlights of my trip. It offers an incredible amount of value for a remarkably low price, making it an essential stop for anyone interested in the natural and cultural history of the island.

What first struck me was its wonderful location. The museum is situated in a lovely little park and is conveniently connected to an MRT station, making it both easy to get to and giving it a very pleasant, gentle atmosphere.

I was truly wowed by the admission fee, which was only 30 TWD. For such a low price, I was not expecting the sheer volume and quality of the exhibits inside. The museum's main focus is on the rich ecology of Taiwan, showcasing the island's unique ecosystems, plants, and animals, alongside fascinating displays of its indigenous cultures. The layout and design are modern and comfortable, making the visit a very enjoyable experience.

You should set aside about two hours to explore everything thoroughly. While it's not a massive museum, it is packed with information and artifacts. It is absolutely worth the money and time. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the geography and culture of this beautiful island, you simply have to visit this museum. Highly...

We enjoyed our stop by this museum! This museum became an unexpected stop on our trip to Taipei and we are happy we dropped by. This museum has English writing in every exhibit. There are two museum buildings that you get entrance into with your NT$30 ticket. There is a lot of Taiwan history in this museum, both about the people of Taiwan and the natural history.

The first floor includes an exhibit about Rhinoceros skeletons that were found on the island. The museum has a lot of taxidermy to show the many animals that live on Taiwan, some of them are quite old. The layout and design of how the displayed native plants, animals and insects is well thought out and beautiful. There is also an exhibit with puppets from different parts of Eastern Asia. This is where I found the cool drawing of Darth Vader.

The architecture and stone work in the main building (within the park) is very cool. Lots of marble in different colors and tall columns reaching up to a ceiling with stained glass.

The second building, across the street from the park, is an old bank. The exhibits include many about the bank, and a large room with dinosaur skeletons and...
