National Museum of Taiwan History

Interactive and fairly comprehensive history of Taiwan starting from the prehistoric age until now. When I was here in April 2023, there was a gap in history during the initial days of modern Taiwan post-WWII during the period of martial law. I really liked the life sized models and attempt to place visitors in the time periods and relevant settings throughout the Our Land Our People: The Story of Taiwan permanent exhibit. Many of the placards and signs are bilingual in Mandarin and English. Highly recommend to anyone, especially expats and tourists interested in learning more about Taiwan’s history. Plan for at least 2 hours if not more. Also, the area around the museum is really pretty and a great place to relax for a little bit before leaving.

I loved my visit to the Museum of Taiwan History. The exhibition was insightful and the displays easy to follow. The life-size displays are attractive for children. The accompanying texts allow deeper dives to who is interested. The entire museum can be visited in an hour or two. The architecture is highly attractive. I travelled to the museum from downtown by bus: Very convenient. However, I do wonder if a visit to the Fine Art Museum would have been preferable. I only had a single day in Tainan and chose the History Museum, but now looking back ... :-/

A very nicely renovated museum that talks about Taiwan's history in a relatively objective manner. Highly recommended.

One of the greatest museum experiences. It has a really enjoyable set of permanent and interactive installations. The museum is top quality and really well built. I really enjoyed discovering the history of Taiwan while enjoying the walk. Im not big into museums in general but this one was definitely worth it. It has a great mix of experiences, including VR

Try to find recommended spots in from the museum and it's awesome 👍🏻 there are Taiwan's Train film and also about the economic of Taiwan, yet the VR experience. Try all and worth the moments 😜 nice place for adult's healing ✨

Very spacious and very clean! I found this place by chance and enjoyed my few hours strolling around inside.

Such a great museum. Very nice architecture and interesting displays from Taiwan's prehistory all the way to the present. Great little gifts in the gift shop too. The area around the outside is nice for strolling around.

Fabulous museum, building and grounds. Kind of in the middle of nowhere but well worth the trip.
