In 2009, it was the 11th most visited art museum in the world.

How to get there . . . take the subway Red Line to the Jiantan Station . . . then take a bus and will stop right infront of the museum . . . can't remember what bus number it was already just ask people around ya . . .hehehe

The building is just beautiful . . . and it is huge!!! . . .

Too bad . . . no photo taking are allowed inside the museum so didn't have any shots inside the building . . . wanted to take a few snaps though but are just too much CCTV hahahaha . . .

The entrance fee to the museum is NTD160.00 . . . worth it? to me yes definitely . . . able to see some great China's invention in there!!! . . . and crazy miniature crafting which they put a magnifier to let you see the details . . . but do prepare to spend some hours in there if you plan to go around the whole museum . . .

by the way . . . The displays are rotated once every three months . . . only 60,000 pieces can be viewed in a year and it would take nearly 12 years to see them all!!! . . .
