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.

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

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.

Awesome service. I’m impressed with their locker service. No matter the size of the locker, you deposit 10nt and collect it back at the end. The security guard reminded me to collect it back. Much of the museum is under redecoration but there were 3 halls open and one of the exhibition caught my interest. It’s a rather large place and plenty of sitting area. Nice place to learn a little more about the city’s history.

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.
