Highlights
- A solid rainy-day or hot-midday indoor stop

Why go
This is a great “short museum” when you want something educational and air-conditioned without committing half your day. It’s especially helpful in Taipei summer heat or on rainy afternoons.
Combine it with a park loop and a good meal and you have a full day with minimal transit.
How to pair it
Pair this with one outdoor stop when weather allows, or keep it museum-heavy if the sky is dramatic.
- Museum → 228 Peace Memorial Park → café break
- Museum → East Gate → Ximending evening stroll
