Very friendly to English speakers, be prepared to take off your shoes when you come in (they have a system and helpful staff, though)!
A really terrific museum. After a nearby hot spring experience, I was, admittedly, a little sceptical about what I’d actually learn here. However, what met me there was a genuinely fascinating experience, wonderfully presented and in a building that has an astonishing amount of history. It’s so rare to stand in a modern museum that feels like it truly represents and reflects the different ages of rule, differing purpose and varying occupants of its time in service.
However, this wonderfully presented experience does just that. Came away completely surprised and so grateful that I came and explored Beitou proper. Make sure you buy something to support the museum (they have some adorable key chains and cool sulfur soaps)! With going out of your way for (but you won’t, it’s close to Xinbeitou Station).
