Museums in Taipei

The National Museum of History is a major museum displaying artifacts from Chinese and Taiwanese history, with particularly strong collections in ceramics, bronzes, and archaeological finds.

The National Palace Museum houses nearly 700,000 artifacts spanning 8,000 years of Chinese civilization — one of the largest collections of Chinese art and antiquities in the world.

The National Taiwan Museum is Taiwan's oldest museum, established in 1908 during the Japanese colonial period. It focuses on Taiwan's natural history, indigenous peoples, and cultural heritage.

The National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is a grand memorial dedicated to the founding father of the Republic of China, set within an 11-hectare park that offers one of the best ground-level views of Taipei 101.

The Taipei Fine Arts Museum is Taiwan's first museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art, housed in a striking white tubular-steel modernist building designed by Kao Er-Pan.

The Beitou Hot Spring Museum is a beautifully restored Japanese colonial-era public bathhouse, built in 1913, that documents the history and science of Beitou's famous hot spring culture.
