A Closer Look at What You’ll Experience

The National Taiwan Museum: The Oldest in Taiwan

Established in 1908, the National Taiwan Museum holds the honor of being the oldest museum on the island. Its history stretches back to the Japanese colonial era, when it was called the Taiwan Governor Museum. Today, it primarily showcases natural history and Taiwan’s financial evolution.

We particularly enjoyed the Main Hall and Land Bank Outpost exhibitions. The outpost is housed in the historic Kangyo Bank Building, which adds a sense of continuity with Taiwan’s economic past. The museum’s focus on natural history allows visitors to explore Taiwan’s rich biodiversity, geology, and ecology—fascinating for anyone interested in the island’s environment or considering outdoor adventures.

The Land Bank Outpost is a bonus, illustrating how Taiwan’s financial institutions helped shape the modern economy. The museum’s classification as a 3rd Grade Historic Monument and later as a city historic site shows its importance in Taiwan’s heritage.

Miniatures Museum of Taiwan: Tiny Worlds of Imagination

If you love intricate craftsmanship, the Miniatures Museum is a highlight. It’s Asia’s first theme museum dedicated exclusively to contemporary miniature art. You’ll wander through scenes like the Rose Mansion in California, Buckingham Palace, or even Jack and the Beanstalk—each tiny world packed with detail.

According to a review, “Wandering in the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan is like walking into an exotic time and space tunnel,” which really captures the sense of entering a tiny universe. The museum’s opening hours are from 10:00 to 18:00 on Tuesdays through Sundays, with ticketing ending at 17:00, so plan your visit accordingly.

This exhibit is perfect for those who enjoy craftsmanship and whimsy. Kids and adults alike will find the miniature scenes astonishing, and it’s a great way to see the skill and patience that go into creating these tiny masterpieces.
