National Comics Museum, Comics museum in West District, Taichung, Taiwan
The National Comics Museum occupies a three-hectare site within former Taichung Prison grounds, featuring restored Japanese colonial-era buildings and exhibition spaces.
The museum complex includes 19 preserved structures from 1937, initially constructed as a training facility for prison officers during Japanese administration of Taiwan.
The permanent collection contains original artworks, rare publications, and interactive exhibitions documenting the evolution of Taiwanese comic art through different periods.
Visitors can access the museum through Wuquan Station or Taichung Station, with operating hours from 10 AM to 7 PM weekdays and until 8 PM weekends.
The former prison bathhouse contains an installation of an oversized cartoon giraffe in a bathtub, merging historical architecture with contemporary comic art.
