  • Incredible exhibition of the literary history of Taiwan, and for a visitor so happy it was translated into English so I could get a much better understanding of this nation. And as an architect, I was so happy to see the revealed existing building components included in the exhibition.
  • it closed when i visited (monday) but the view outside look nice, like the Europe University vibe
  • Excellent free English audio tour gave understanding of Taiwanese literature and the influence of history, technology and economy on literature. There were many additional features that looked intriguing but I couldn’t access because of my language limitations. The curators were thoughtful in terms of framing the exhibit. The muse space is beautiful and the staff was helpful. Recommend a visit.
  • Awesome service. I’m impressed with their locker service. No matter the size of the locker, you deposit 10nt and collect it back at the end. The security guard reminded me to collect it back. Much of the museum is under redecoration but there were 3 halls open and one of the exhibition caught my interest. It’s a rather large place and plenty of sitting area. Nice place to learn a little more about the city’s history.
  • A great place to know Taiwan history and literature. The exhibitions are informaive; the building is artistic, comfortable, modern and beautiful to me. Free admission. You can check out the audio guide machine. Definitely a must-come place if u want to know more about Taiwan literature and history.
