This museum houses one of the largest selections (over 650,000 pieces) of ancient Chinese artifacts and artwork in the world. Take at least one day to visit this beautiful and interesting museum. more

Because of my job, I travel to diiferent countries. I like the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and Le Musee Du Louvre in Paris. but I don't like the museums in NYC. Maybe it's because I live not far away and maybe because US doesn't have long history. Everything is treasure, even a '70 commerical poster. so when the... more

Did I just visit this place on a bad day? Or has it taken a turn for the worse in the last few months? Let's start with the good points. Basically, this is a very good Museum. The objects on display are very beautiful and look well preserved. The building is comfortable, pleasantly lit inside and close to some beautiful... more

This is a big museum, you should NOT attempt to see it all in one day because you'll be exhausted by the end of it. I went twice in one year. I'm going to be honest, I'm just an average guy and not a serious art or museum fan. My first visit was really a disappointment. The collection here is... more

This museum is simply amazing. I understood why it's one of the top 4 museums in the world. The museum changes items in special exhibition room monthly. Apparently it'll take 100 years to show all the items museum has. 160 NTD or 80 NTD with a youth travel card. I highly recommend a free guided tour. English one at 10am... more

This would be in the top of my list of favorite sites! The artifacts are very well-preserved. When I visited the Imperial Palace in Beijing, I couldn't really imagine how life was for the royal family living in the palace under different dynasties/kingdoms. After this visit to the National Palace Museum in Taipei, I could finally see the difference and... more

This has to be one of the best collections in the world! It contains the top art of the Ch'ng, Sung, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Many do not realize that the treasures displayed here were brought here by the Nationalist government during the civil war against the communists. It was a good thing these treasures were spirited away to Taiwan,... more

This is an excellent museum with hours of interesting artifacts and an amazing look into the past. Highly recommend seeing it. They rotate things every few weeks so visit every trip! It was easy to get to via bus. There seemed to be a lot of school kids there during the week. You easily could spend a couple of days... more
