We didn't visit the museum. However, the outside architecture is really pretty!

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.

Good tour and beautiful historical building worth visiting even just for the architecture.

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 building is very beautiful, built by the Japanese. The Taiwanese have installed a modern internal structure that spoils everything, a terrible thing, without culture. Absolute lack of translation, are foreigners not welcome? Yet Taiwan exists thanks to American aid; the palace exists thanks to the Japanese! (JB. 1841)

Incredible exhibition of the literary history of Taiwan, and for a visitor so happy it was translated into English so I could get a much better understanding of this nation. And as an architect, I was so happy to see the revealed existing building components included in the exhibition.

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.
