★★★★★3 weeks agoThis is easily one of the coolest and most unique museums in Taipei! The building itself is a gorgeous piece of history, it’s a beautiful 100-year-old red-brick schoolhouse that they’ve converted into a modern art space. The contrast between the historic architecture and the super modern, sometimes wild digital and video art inside is fantastic. The exhibits are incredibly unique, interactive, and really make you think. It is very affordable to get in (only 100 NTD!), super clean, and located just a short walk from the Zhongshan MRT station. It's the perfect way to spend an hour or two exploring!

★★★★★7 months agoA small museum with interesting installations about the environment and the men made influences, employees in harmful factories by the main hi tech companies, and just a simple but sophisticated and smart interpretation of a song. (The dark room, go around where the light goes.) The "hand" that you in the photos, is nothing compared to the feeling and the experience being in that room. It was one of the best exhibition-tech-meaning-installation I've been to. I stayed in that room for almost an hour, and I can't even describe it in words without spoilering. Just go there!!! Also, every installment has a QR code to scan for a short audio explanation.
