National Palace Museum

This is where you'll find arguably the finest collection of Chinese art. Don't miss the important items "One Hundred Horses" painting and the "Jadeite Cabbage." Open daily from 8:30am to 6:30pm.

Go straight to 301 to check out the meat shaped stone and jade cabbage, two of the most well known pieces in the museum. Avoid weekend tour groups by going on an early weekday.

This is hands down the finest collection of Chinese art and artifacts in the world. If you're pressed for time, start on the 3rd floor where the best stuff is. And if you need a break, the teahouse...

Treasures of Chinese art history. Nothing more to say. Except, they sometimes replace the greatest paintings with posters rather than the original work. #Fail

World class museum with the best Chinese treasures! They run it well with good design of space, lighting, sound and AV technology

I have memories of visiting the national palace museum on field trips while in school but it was so dark and boring I always dreaded and wished to leave as soon as possible. However being almost 40 with 2 young children from the US this is a must visit for them to understand Chinese culture.We've always known of the nation palace museum in Beijing contains little treasure because the treasure is now housed in Taipei.The most famous pieces are1. Cabbage jade2. Fatty pork stampBecause of the association with food these 2 pieces are of interest to my young kids (aged 5 and 8) but other historic items must be explained to them. I purchased the children's audio for them but wished I had gotten the adults version because children's ones were very limited.Downstairs there was a children's section where they watch films about the treasure. For the short morning we spent there we watched 1 of the 2 movies twice and the kids were not bored with them. I recommend watching both films first and then visit the museum for young ones. They could associate with the cabbage and wine vessels very well from the films.A short bus ride takes you to Miramar dept store and ferries wheels. From there we took the MRT back home. What a great day.

At the top of many steps you will find the museum. It is beautiful on the outside and inside it is modern and the displays are unique. They claim to have the best artifacts from China. Viewing the Jade and porcelain collections were a highlight for me. If you go to their website, you can download an App showing the best of the museum's collection and a couple of virtual tours you can follow when there. It's a very good museum but not a world class museum. Modest entry fee

This is the best place to see chinese art works in the world. Can you imagine those collections were used to be the kings' collections and only they can enjoy it.. now it's open to public.. Since those art works are not well known by most westerns. It's a bit hard for them to experience the deeper part beyond the looks/ colours. Too much history in this museum.. thousands years chinese arts all display in this space, though.. all you can see is only the little portion of the museum collection.. To me, each piece collection comes with a lot story and history.. including the way they made, why the made. how the artist created it by what kind of mood.. this is the best museum for chinese art in the world.. DO NOT MISS this museum. after this place.. you may find those chinese collections in other western museums are not even near the standard of national palace museum.
