How to visit, step by step
- Walk to No. 49 Nanhai Road, on the edge of the Taipei Botanical Garden. Xiaonanmen station (G12) is closest
- Buy a NT$80 ticket at the counter. The museum's ticket rules mention credit card, EasyCard and mobile payment

- Ask at the counter whether a special exhibition needs a separate ticket
- Pair it with a walk in the Botanical Garden next door
Don't miss: The permanent exhibition, plus the immersive animal-motifs show while it runs (until 21 March 2027).
Best time to go alone: A weekday morning soon after 10:00.
