How to visit, step by step
- Buy a regular NT$350 ticket at the entrance or online. Ticket sales stop at 16:00
- Walk the outdoor sculpture grounds and the indoor galleries at your own pace. From November to April the lawns are being rested, so stay off the grass
- The current special exhibition runs until 20 December 2026. The museum then closes from 21 to 25 December 2026 to change exhibitions
- The museum has a cafe if you need a break
- Transport from the hill is limited, so check bus times for the trip back before you start
Don't miss: The big outdoor Taichi sculptures set against the green hills, best on a clear day.
Best time to go alone: A clear weekday morning soon after 10:00. Much of the visit is outdoors with little shade.
