As someone who loves literature, I was so excited to find out this museum exists! The exhibits were impressive. With the many changes throughout Taiwan’s history, there are gaps where written literature wasn’t as prevalent. I liked how history, literature, and culture were shown to be so intertwined. While of course not everything is translated, the most significant descriptions and placards are bilingual in English and Mandarin, so tourists will be able to enjoy this museum, too. I highly recommend adding this museum to your list of must-see places. Reserve 90+ minutes.

To my surprise it wasn't a boring place as i thought it would be. you don't have to buy a ticket to enter, you can interact with a lot of games and screens you can also read a lot of books and the architecture itself is very historical. I learned a lot in this place, I visited when it was raining and it's actually a big place that you can walk for over an hour just hanging out in that place and they have a lot of English translations to many things that you can interact with and have fun with. Especially to those who really enjoy literature in Taiwan you can know a lot of culture, authors and also books

Really nice building with a good amount of knowledge inside. There were journals dating from the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, to the era of censorship before the 1990s. Upstairs there are literary works and stories from Taiwan’s Indigenous Peoples.

A great place to know Taiwan history and literature. The exhibitions are informaive; the building is artistic, comfortable, modern and beautiful to me. Free admission. You can check out the audio guide machine. Definitely a must-come place if u want to know more about Taiwan literature and history.

I loved their permanent exhibition on writing Taiwan! Also I was lucky to see the temporary exhibition on Czech literature 🤩

The museum is specialized in cultural and literature exhibits, and it's conveniently located in the center city area.

Limited info in English on wall placards only. Cultural history of Taiwan can be gleaned from content of this free museum, but if you do not read Chinese, it will not be as interesting.
