Taichung has two National museums which are established and administered by the Taichung City Government, The National Museum of Natural Science and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. Both of these world class institutions are centers of cultural and education activities, with modern, comprehensive facilities, outstanding displays and attractive recreational park grounds. They are definitely one of the “must visit” spots for your Taichung travel.

This attractive, enormous museum is home to the world’s largest collection of Taiwanese art, displayed through regular exhibitions. The museum often holds various international exhibitions from all over the world such as Eastern / Western Europe and greater Asia pacific as well. The museum recently re-opened to public after a serious re-construction of the whole site, providing a variety of modern facilities such as an extensive, user-friendly reference library, restaurants and shops. The main structure is surrounded by a large, recreational greenery area which sits opposite to Taichung Municipal Cultural Center that attracts many local Taichung residents and foreign visitors.
