National Palace Museum

Easy to get to via bus from Shilin mtr exit. I recommend getting the virtual headphone guide as it is very informative

Huuuge museum with more than 600.000 collections. I highly recommend to read about the history behind or took some guide to give you some magical and interesting journey. If you took a guide, you can rent audio system in a cheap price. The desain of the building is fancy and gives you the luxury sensation experience. Because it maybe will be boring trip if just look aroud. I see many people have a book like a scavengers game, I think it’s a great idea to enjoy this kind of place. Muslim and kids friendly, they have children area with some hi-tech touch, the kids really loved it. The prayer room is in B1 floor. The souvenir shop in B1 and you can find a cafe on 1st floor. You cannot bring big backpack inside the exhibitions (you have to leave it on the counter/locker), can not bring a drinking bottle (they provide drinking fountain using small paper glass inside the museum). (Even my child can not bring their balloons) I wish I can come back again someday!

The museum is very neat and well managed. the museum is good for art connoisseurs or for those who want to know the treasures of china in the past. From this museum, visitors will know more about relics and history. on the bottom floor, there is an area for children. This area uses interesting technology to introduce historical objects. the ticket price is 350nt for adult. There is moslem prayer room near the children area.

It is one of the largest museums in Asia and it has many artifacts related to various dynasties of China. It has many sections to see. Souvenir shops are one the best attraction of the museum. It has a prayers room for Muslims. My advice is to visit there with an audio guide or guide. Well connected to public transportation. Recommended visiting.

Must-visiting museum if you're interested in history and ancient culture. This is one of the biggest museum in Asia where still remain and exhibit many treasures "White cabbage", "Pork meat", etc. The theme will be changed every season. It's free admission for student, you need to bring your student card. It also provide the audio guide/demo in many languages. You can borrow at the ticket booth. The staffs are friendly and professional. From the entrance to the bus stop takes approximately 5 min walking.

An amazingly beautiful, great museum to visit in Taiwan, definitely a must! The building itself is a work of art, from the gate to the inside, everything is beautiful and so picturesque, so many awesome picture spot with a lot of knowledge to attain inside. The museum has both chinese and english information for each exhibition so it's very easy to understand especially for tourist. Transportation also easy, go to Shilin MRT station, exit 1, from there only 1~2 mins walk to the bus station. A lot of bus options. The bus stop is right in front of the museum. From the museum, it's also incredibly easy to go to the bus stop (there's even a bus stop inside the museum area) which you can use to directly go to Shilin Night Market. For the ticket, it was a bit expensive ($350) but i do believe it is worth the price with so many exhibitions inside, if you have Taiwanese ARC, you can get a discount to $150, and if you are a Taiwanese student, the ticket is free! (Please check the website or ask the museum before visiting as price may change)

This place was soooooo nice. Clean. Comfortable and kind of silent that I’m looking for after stranded in Taipei City. The ticket was free for students and we can learn a lot of stuff inside. They also have audio guide that we can borrow in the counter.

We visited Taiwan for the first time. We loved the country and the people. This museum was one of the highlights of our trip. We had the chance to see 2500 years old exhibits and to better understand the history of this side of the world. We continued our visit to the museum with a long walk in the park and gardens close by the museum. We visited in October, the weather was very nice and the numbers of tourists wasn’t high at all. This was another enjoyable part of our trip.
