Visit the Paleontology Museum

Taiwan Museum's Paleontology Museum (also known as the Land Bank Exhibition Hall) was completed in 1933. It was formerly the Taipei branch of the Nippon Kangyo Bank. In 1991, it was designated as a third-class historic site (now a Taipei City-designated historic site). Since 2005, the Taiwan Museum has been responsible for the restoration and subsequent operation management of the historic site, positioning it as a 'Natural History Museum.' The museum is known as the 'Dinosaur Museum' due to its exhibits of various dinosaur specimens such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops, and Pterosaurs, which have long been popular with children. The exhibition area features fossil records from the Cambrian trilobites (Fig. 3, 16), Devonian fish (Fig. 18), Mesozoic dinosaurs, and Cenozoic mammals (Fig. 12, 14, 17), unveiling the mysteries of the evolution of life on Earth. It is the best place to learn about the origins of life on Earth, prehistoric fossils, and Taiwan's unique species. The main two-story exhibition area showcases various dinosaurs, interspersed with fossils of various ancient creatures, allowing visitors to appreciate dinosaurs from different angles, making it a hit with both adults and children. The Parrot Beak Dragon in Figure 8 is designed to move, making it incredibly realistic. 📍Address: No. 25, Xiangyang Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City 100 🕰️Business Hours: 09:30–17:00, closed on Mondays
