Good collection of artifacts.

The museum has a good number of interesting artifacts. I was told that most of them originated in mainland China. It's a good place to spend some time to learn about the history of Taiwan.

Well-managed museum

We spent 3 hours there and think that it is worth 300TWD fee. They have several sections and are divided into 3 floors. There're so many precious antiques for you to see and learn from the past generations. Pretty cool place.

Very nice museum

It is definitely a must place to visit while in Taipei. The museum has great facility for visitor to enjoy and witness Chinese history aged as early as year 200 something.
