National Taiwan Museum Nanmen Park

The National Taiwan Museum Nanmen Park is a museum in Taipei that displays extensive collections of natural specimens and cultural artifacts. These galleries and outdoor spaces document Taiwan's development across different periods and regions.

The museum was founded in 1908 as an extension of Taiwan's first museum and transformed from a military facility into a modern cultural institution. This change allowed it to become central to Taiwan's educational and cultural landscape.

The museum features rotating exhibitions of local traditions and handicrafts that reflect Taiwan's cultural diversity. Visitors can see how traditional practices continue to influence contemporary artistic work displayed throughout the galleries.

The museum is accessible by multiple public transportation options and features both indoor galleries and outdoor gardens. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as exploring all areas requires a fair amount of walking.

The museum houses natural science collections gathered by early researchers during Taiwan's period under Japanese administration. These objects provide a rare window into the scientific work of that era.
