How to visit, step by step
- From Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall station (R08/G10) Exit 1 or 2, walk along Nanhai Road and cross Chongqing South Road
- Entry is free and individual visitors don't need to book
- Put large bags and backpacks in a locker or at the service desk. Umbrellas can't go inside, so fold a small one into your bag. Dress neatly
- Start with the permanent exhibition in the second-floor north wing, then see any special exhibition in the south wing or on the third floor
- No food, drinks or chewing gum. Personal photos are allowed where each room permits, but no flash or tripods
- English guided tours are only for groups that book ahead, so plan to read on your own
- This is not the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum inside 228 Peace Memorial Park, which is a separate museum
Don't miss: The second-floor permanent exhibition on the 228 Incident.
Best time to go alone: A weekday afternoon, when you can read without hurrying.
