Taipei City hold many tourists attractions, making it hard to visit them all on a short trip. But the city has a very interesting museum culture with both traditional and unique elements, and museums are a good choice for visiting any day.
To avoid over-indulgence during your trip in Taipei, “Good Eye Taipei,” a new bilingual Taipei city guide, shares six museums in the city.
National Palace Museum
The National Palace Museum always comes to mind when speaking of museums in Taipei and is a treasure trove of historical Chinese artifacts.
Taipei Fine Arts Museum
Taipei Fine Arts Museum is located near the Yuanshan MRT station. One of the museum's most notable exhibition is the "Taipei Biennial."
Digital Art Center
The base in Taipei City for digital art experimentation.
Suho Paper Memorial Museum
A quaint museum of all things paper.
Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei
A museum full of contemporary art with collectible ticket stubs.
JUT ART MUSEUM

Don't forget to visit each museum's website for exhibition information or pick up a "Culture Express" pamphlet available at MRT stations and various tourist sites. The pamphlets offer information on monthly cultural events in Taipei and are available in Japanese and English.
“Good Eye Taipei” can be purchased at all major bookstores in Taiwan. Check out TNL’s interview with the author here.
