Miniatures Museum of Taiwan

Even if you’re not a fan of miniatures, it’s hard not to find this an impressive collection. The craftsmanship is clear and the scale is, at times, breathtaking. When you see tiny oil paintings, or bottles of liquid meticulously stocking a shelf - that’s something very unique to behold. There’s a nice collection of clumsy English captions accompanying a lot of the exhibits, which is nice to see. Similarly, a real range to what’s on show - fantasy, all the way to dark realism. There’s a very cool sense of contrast that brought me fully into the experience by the end of our visit! Worth the entry fee? For a fan of this kind of art, it absolutely must be. For me, as a general spectator, I’m not too sure. $250 a head isn’t nothing in Taipei, but I suppose that’s the cost of keeping this very niche collection open to the public.

Really really impressive. The museum initially seems small. You can see everything in 20 minutes. However, if you stop to really look carefully at each miniature scene, you will soon find over an hour’s worth of things to investigate. There are hidden details that really make the experience worth it. It is on the expensive side for museum entrance fees in Taiwan for what you see. However, it’s still worth a visit. Also, while the building is clearly marked on the outside, the museum entrance was a bit harder for me to find. Nonetheless, I recommend adding this museum to your itinerary.

Worth every penny. A very small but cute museum in downtown Taipei, read the caption, you'll see Taiwanese people's sense of humor. Especially when travelling with kids, they will keep you in there for hours. All the works are so detailed and passionated, each artist has their own style and vision for the scenes they made, look closer at all windows and backroom, there are plenty of stories and surprises awaits.

Absolutely worth the visit! The miniature creations are incredibly detailed and mirror real-life scenes with astonishing accuracy. Every tiny piece is crafted with such precision—it’s like stepping into a magical, pint-sized world. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates art, creativity, and a unique experience

What a fascinating little place this was! A small museum with many intetesting, humorous, and historically interesting exhibits. Great for kids and adults alike. A wide range of exhibits, from palaces and castles to Victorian East End of London. From dinosaur fantasy world to popular fairytales, the level of detail was excellent and most exhibits had well written explanations. The walk-in admission prices were 250 TWD for adults, we got a small discount using an app. The gift shop was good too with fair prices. Highly recommended. A nice way to spend a couple of hours in the air-con, away from the crowds.

Beautiful details. I've always been fascinated by miniature items. The room depictions in this museum do not disappoint. From the tiniest spoons, candles and milk cartons to entire dollhouses. Cost to enter NTD 250.

Nice activity for a rainy day. The pieces are really interesting and have a lot of intricate details. As a foreigner though only a fraction of the exhibits are explained in English (although close to every exhibit has a description) and in general most of the miniatures depict western culture and not many local artworks. And also a friendly reminder that Europe is not a country.

Delightful way to pass few hours. It was very close to where we stayed and glad to have come across it. Amazing details in the collections inside, and the hours of labour that has gone into these. Well worth a visit
