A great place to go back to history and immerse in the glorious past. The exhibits are priceless. It's quite big so need a lot of time to see everything. The restaurant was quite cool too.
Great Chinese history back to a few thousand years, so amazing words can hardly describe, you have to see it to believe it, calligraphy, handicraft and more..... All are well presented. One of the best history collections in the world, I strongly recommended and it's a must visit attraction.
Great place to visit, you can easily spend couple of hours there, lots to see. There is no need to book tickets in advance, no queue for walk ins. There is a nice little garden in the back.
you can take bus no R30 from shilin station, it drop right before the entrance inside. If you are student in taiwan, you can enter for free, it's big place, there 3 floors i think. There is also a Muslim prayer room after you exited from the display area, in B1, and there is ablution place inside.
You can go outside and get a good view from above.

Great museum with lots of artifacts and history of Taiwan. A great place to visit and learn. The overall area is beautiful and they have a nice garden and pond area to walk at. Went on a Saturday so it was a bit busy just be prepared of you plan on a weekend visit.
Third time to Taiwan. This is a must! Lots of history preserved here and very well exhibited! Pottery, manuscripts, maps. So much to see. Take the better part of a day to explore then spend some time in the gardens!
This museum is definitely in the top three that I have ever been to. I arrived just after opening on a weekday. No line. Purchased my ticket, rented an audio headset, and walked in. Workers were very friendly and helpful. It was suggested that I begin on the top floor and work my way down. The museum is very spacious, clean, well organized, with exhibits divided by time periods and categories with sone interactive displays. I would definitely recommend this museum as it was one of my highlights visiting Taipei.
Amazing museum of Asian art and culture. So many beautiful pieces from China that date back many centuries. With works in stone, bronze, ceramic, and many beautiful works of art and calligraphy, there is a lot to see. The Jade cabbage might be the famous piece here but there is so much more to see. The self guided tour headset is worth getting and is useful no matter what order you visit the exhibits.
Took my son with me, drove in an electric scooter no need for driver license if u use electric scooter. Parked in the scooter parking lot. Was very good to get to and to my surprise we both got inside for free because we're both Taiwan citizens and my son is student and I'm disabled. Both presented the IDs needed and got free entrance when normally it would cost over 250 Taiwan dollar per person for tourists. The displays were very interesting all antiques. No food or drinks allowed. There's drinking water fountain inside just bring your empty bottle to fill it up inside. Had walked into all the displays on all floors and was exhausted. This place would be a favorite place for those who loves antiques. Be ready to walk over 4 hrs. To be able to finish the whole building.
Very nice museum with many beautiful peaces of art. If you are passionate about I would suggest to book an audio guide or a guide.
The AC temperature could be rise up a bit. IT was very cold inside especially when outside is 40 degrees. . I suggest you to bring a jumper.

This is a must visit attraction if you are coming to Taipei. With 3 storeys of exhibits, do plan with minimum of 2 hours before coming over. Additional duration if you are bringing any elders.
There's couple of souvenir shops n a nice cafe which we had our lunch break b4 we continue the tour.
Do bring a windbreaker or jacket as the AC are pretty chilling.

Why do you close at 5pm? It is too early.
Beautiful museum with amazing artifacts brought from China. The government at the time wanted to protect these artifacts from the Japanese invasion and from the cultural revolution which was destroying many of the Chinese past cultures.
I loved the paintings.
Check out the ivory ball made; it has several concentric spheres all made out of one single piece of ivory.
Do not forget to visit the cavage and pork meat sculptures; they are really beautiful and well made.

A treasure trove of Chinese history, culture, and literary excellence! I recommend visiting the old manuscripts room; I believe it is on the museum's first floor. The books there are stunning works of art! The jade on the third floor of the museum is also gorgeous.
An absolute can't miss if you are vacationing in Taipei. The facilities are impeccably kept. The exhibits are frequently updated and rotated. This was my third visit and first in over ten years. The museum has done an amazing job of keeping up with the times and incorporating VR and high-tech visual display elements in showcasing the essence of Chinese art and artefacts. The staff are super friendly and helpful!
The National Palace Museum in Taiwan is a must-visit for all tourists in Taipei. The museum presents an amazing and comprehensive display of Chinese history and culture. However, visitors should be prepared for the extremely cold temperature inside the museum - bringing a small jumper or jacket is recommended.
The staff at the National Palace Museum are super nice and helpful, and everything is presented in English, making it easy for non-Chinese speakers to understand and appreciate the exhibits. While audio tours are available, it's better to read the descriptions as the audio spots are limited even in the English language.
The museum is also an excellent destination for families with children. There is an interactive children's book available at the entrance, and the museum has spots and activities all over for kids to learn and play. Many families with children have enjoyed the museum, thanks to its engaging and educational exhibits. Overall, the National Palace Museum is a great place to learn about Chinese history and culture, and it's an experience that shouldn't be missed.

The museum was beautiful. Outside, there’s a very nice garden and it just felt grand, especially with the way the building was designed. And the view of the mountain tops was gorgeous.
The collection inside the museum is very organized. I enjoyed looking at the artifacts a lot. There are items from different dynasties, even a few things from before the common era.
The place is also very accessible, PWD and seniors included.
