Republic of China Armed Forces Museum

The Republic of China Armed Forces Museum is a military collection facility in Taipei with three exhibition levels filled with military equipment, uniforms, and historical documents. The spaces display different phases of armed forces development with detailed information about the equipment and weapons used.

The facility was founded in 1961 under the Ministry of National Defense and collected military artifacts over the decades. It closed in 2021 to transform into the National Military Museum and integrate its collections there.

The collection displays personal stories of former soldiers through photographs and equipment that show how Taiwan's armed forces evolved over time. These objects help visitors understand the role the military played in the island's history.

The visit works best on weekdays or Saturday mornings when fewer visitors are on site. Ximen Station of the Taipei Metro provides direct access to the site and is centrally located in the city.

The exhibition halls displayed captured Japanese military equipment from World War II, including weapons from that era. These pieces offer visitors a rare glimpse into lesser-known chapters of regional wartime history.
