The first science museum in Taiwan, the Natural Science Museum, houses a collection of representative natural specimens and related materials from across the country. The exhibition content encompasses astronomy, physics, paleontology, zoology, and anthropology. In addition to the star dinosaur models, there are numerous engaging interactive devices that allow both adults and children to enter the world of natural science in a fun and enjoyable way! With the guidance of interpreters, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the planning concepts behind different themes and the significance of the exhibits. Where do humans come from? How does nature develop its life? In the museum’s Hall of Life Sciences, 13 exhibition areas vividly present the phenomena and dynamics of nature’s evolution. From the origin of life to the rise of various life forms, the museum also houses the world’s museums’ coveted ancient Egyptian culture collection—the mummies, offering a glimpse into the mysterious afterlife of ancient Egyptians where body and spirit coexist! The museum’s popular dinosaur models, standing at an impressive 7 meters tall, not only move but also emit roars, making them so lifelike that children are both fascinated and intimidated! In the Hall of Life Sciences, visitors can explore the origins, evolution, and transformation of humanity. The Earth Environment Hall offers a different perspective on our planet, allowing visitors to appreciate the insignificance of humans and the preciousness of Earth. Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00; closed all day on Mondays. Service facilities include mobile phone charging, luggage storage, stroller rental, wheelchair rental, nursing rooms, dining, and souvenir shops. Accessibility services include accessible parking, entrances, elevators, and restrooms.
