★★★★★3 years agoThe museum is affiliated to the Institute of History and Philosophy, Academia, sinica, a research center with international reputation. Though the scale is small, the value of its collection is astonishing. It is believed that its value is second only to the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. Its design and displays meet the standard of a modern museum. The layout and design are advanced, well organised, and friendly to visitors. Some parts even include exhibition arrangements suitable for elementary school kids. If you are an archaeology lover or history buff, it is worth a special visit.
