National Taiwan Museum 國立臺灣博物館 - Taipei Taiwan 2023

National Taiwan Museum 國立臺灣博物館

The museum is the oldest museum in the Republic of China (Taiwan). It was founded by the colonial government during Taiwan's period of Japanese rule. The museum is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei.

Established in 1908, the museum is the oldest in Taiwan. The colonial government of Japan set up the Taiwan Governor Museum (臺灣總督府民政部殖產局附屬博物館, which officially opened on 24 October 1908, to commemorate the inauguration of the North-South Railway.

The museum had a collection of over 10,000 items in its initial stages. In 1915, the new building of the museum in Taihoku New Park was inaugurated and became one of the major public buildings during Japanese rule.

Since 1999, the museum has been administered by the Central Government and renamed "National Taiwan Museum." Throughout the years of war and political transition and after twice being renamed, it stands as the only museum established during the colonial years, which is still in operation on its original site.

The musuem is easy to get to and worth an hour or so of your time. If you have a family it’s a great stop and very affordable at 30 NTD to get in.
