National Taiwan Museum Nanmen Branch

Musuem on Camphor and Opium history of Taiwan. The buildings were part of the Camphor and Opium factory of early days. Joined the 1430hr tour where a volunteer guide shared more info on exhibit and the history of the factory. During my time of visit on Nov/2025, the 2nd floor exhibition was closed due to changing of exhibits (as told). Just curious what the 2nd floor exhibition was about……

I love visiting museums, I found this one by chance I didn't expect it to be about camphor and opium history in Taiwan..it was interesting The building and the little garden were beautiful There was a special exhibit upstairs about sustainability and environment..I enjoyed that too

An OK small museum with scientific drawings and its history when I visited for a school trip. It’s worth seeing the remarkable artistic abilities of humankind as we learn about our environment and nature. Only NT20 admittance and there is also a restaurant inside (seems like nice environment with American style foods and cafe). The “little White House” is well maintained and can be used for lecture and teaching time. It’s more interesting if you sign up for the tour. Maybe spend one-hour at most.

There are two exhibitions halls, the white house and the red house. A beautiful garden and a dining hall that can be used for events. I will have to go back and visit more in details, but overall worth a stop if you are visiting the neighborhood.

The three buildings here, the remnants of a huge industrial facility that once processed camphor and opium, stand out for their unique architecture. They are remarkably well-preserved, thanks to efforts to convert historically significant buildings into a space for the arts. The museum is housed on the red brick building by the entrance and showcases the lucrative camphor and opium business. The museum also has a dedicated art space for children, but all exhibits are in Chinese only. The admission fee is 20 NT (less than 1.00 USD). Allot at least an hour when visiting.

Walked past and went in for a visit. A lady was very kind to approach us for a chat and explained about the history of Nanmen to us. Seeing how excited and our eagerness to understand more, she called her senior colleague (who's not around at that time) to come over to explained more in depth to us. (Explanation in mandarin) We had wonderful lessons about Nanmen and Camphor usage. A very memorable experiences indeed. We left thru a different exit and unable to say big thank you to the ladies that been serving us. Thank you!

It was good. The way they present was educational.

This branch focuses on the history of camphor and opium production in Taiwan. It’s the smallest of the four National Taiwan Museum sites, and entry is included under the same single ticket.
