🏛️A cultural time capsule in a century-old monument: An in-depth walk through the National Taiwan Museum

#7月好去处2025

📍Address: No. 2, Xiangyang Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City
🚇Transportation: 3 minutes walk from the exit of MRT National Taiwan University Hospital Station; it only takes about 5 minutes from Taipei Main Station, the location is super central!

🌿Walk into the corridor of time and meet a living museum

The pace of downtown Taipei is always fast, and the sound of cars, people and the roar of the MRT build the rhythm of this city, but in the busiest Zhongzheng District, there is a century-old museum that is calm, elegant, and quietly tells stories-the National Taiwan Museum.

🦖From fossils to aboriginal culture, the exhibition is rich and not difficult

The exhibition area in the museum covers two major fields: natural history and human history.
From Taiwan's early animal and plant ecology, fossils and mineral specimens, to the living utensils, costumes and belief systems of the aboriginal people, people can see the diverse and detailed evolution of the island of Taiwan.

👀Must-see highlights:
Taiwan Animal Specimen Museum: When you see specimens such as pangolins, black bears, and Taiwan macaques, you will be amazed at the richness and diversity of Taiwan's native species.
Aboriginal Culture Exhibition: Present ethnic culture in a respectful and narrative way. The audio guide also has Taiwanese and aboriginal language options to make the culture truly visible.
Special Exhibition Space: There will be art, history, science and other themed exhibitions from time to time. Recently, there are also themes related to environmental sustainability, which are worth seeing.

The overall guided tour has a clear moving line and the exhibition board explanations are simple and easy to understand. Even children can enjoy it.
And the air conditioning is very cool. It is basically a knowledge-based summer paradise in summer💨

☕Take a break: Museum shop and surrounding street view roaming

There is a museum shop full of literary and artistic feeling at the exit of the main hall. It sells many peripherals, postcards, retro stationery and small crafts designed with exhibition themes, which are very suitable for choosing small gifts.
I bought a magnet designed with specimen elements here. It is super cute and special!
