This museum, located in the eponymous park, is worth a visit. It memorializes the events of 2-28-1947, when friction between native Taiwan residents and KMT troops led to violence and the deaths of many unarmed civilians. N.B.: Many of the exhibits have no English signage, but it's still worth the visit. The museum staff is very helpful, and it is possible for what is in English to understand this horrific event in the modern history of Taiwan.

The mission of Evergreen Maritime Museum is to preserve and present the history, art, and science of boats and ships, in the hope of generating public interest in maritime culture and in turn inspiring the pursuit of knowledge and the spirit of exploration.

There are not a lot of boats here, but they are interesting. The full-sized canoe, built by Taiwan's Aborigines, is outstanding, as is the Arab Dhow. Admiral Zheng He is China's most famous mariner, there's a model of his treasure ship. The Museum is adjacent to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. There's a cafe and a gift shop. The Museum is closed on Mondays.

National Museum of History began operation in 1955. For more than six decades, we have been working to provide the most updated and innovative service. Beginning on 2 July 2018, the Museum will be closed for a complete overhaul for about three years. We will renovate and reorganize the museum building, service function, and administration. We aim to provide elevated and enhanced service quality and administrative efficiency when we reopen to the public. “See you again in a promising future.” We apologize for not being able to serve you and your friends in this duration.

This little museum is right next to the Botanical Gardens is is perhaps one of the less popular museums in Taipei. The exhibit is a wealth of wonder and historical value. Very much interesting to see artifacts dating BC and the rich contribution to culture and history. The gift shop is a must visit place too.

The 2-28 Rebellion is the most signifcant event in Taiwan's modern history. On 28 Feb 1947, the Taiwanese rose up against the mainland government. No one knows how many people werer killed, but it was in the thousands. It poisoned relations between the native Taiwanese and the government, who were mainlanders, for many years. This museum explains the modern history of Taiwan, from Japanese colonisaton to today. There is not a lot of English used, but most of the museum is self-explanatory. By the way, there is a small entry fee. The docents are friendly.
