Description
The National Museum of Prehistory is an archaeological museum in Taitung that displays artifacts from Taiwan's earliest periods. Its galleries hold pottery, stone tools, ornaments, and other objects recovered from significant excavation sites across the region.
History
The museum preserves findings from the Beinan site, a major prehistoric settlement established more than 3,000 years ago. These excavations have helped scholars understand the origins and development of Taiwan's earliest communities.

Practical
The galleries are fully accessible, with ramps and facilities designed for visitors of all abilities throughout the building. Plan enough time to move comfortably through the different exhibition spaces without rushing.
