Right after our visit to Taipei 228 Memorial Museum, we went straight to 國立臺灣博物館 National Taiwan Museum w/c is located at the same park.

國立臺灣博物館 National Taiwan Museum is the oldest museum in Taiwan.  Established in 1908, it is the only museum still in operation in spite being established during the colonial years (Japan->Nationalist).

The museum concentrates on 5 areas:

• Anthropology – Story of Mankind.
• Earth Sciences – Study of the Earth.
• Zoology – Study of Animals.
• Botany – Study of Plants.
• Education – Promotion of Natural History Collection & Research.

Here are some of the exhibitions during our visit:

• Legend of the Pingpu Group

• Darwin Now

• Animals & Plants in Taiwan

The rest of the pictures can be found here.

Through the 國立臺灣博物館 National Taiwan Museum, we get a glimpse of Taiwan’s evolution through its exhibitions, publications & education programs.  That is also why the museum is regarded as an educational institution.

One thing that I remember was that the museum’s lounge was just too pretty hahaha!  Because of its lighting, you would really get good pictures there.  Here is a picture of my mom that I really really really love!
