National Museum of Natural Science Introduction

The National Museum of Natural Science, abbreviated as NMNS, primarily features six major exhibition areas: the Space Theater, the Science Center, the Life Science Hall, the Earth Environment Hall, the Human Culture Hall, and the Botanical Garden. The 921 Earthquake Education Park in Wufeng District, Taichung City, the Phoenix Valley Bird Park in Lugu Township, Nantou County, and the Chechengpu Fault Preservation Park in Zhushan Township have become outdoor areas affiliated with the museum. Not only is the content inside the museum rich and educational, but the outdoor parks are also suitable for leisure and walking. As a result, the average annual visitor count ranks second among museums in Taiwan, reaching approximately three million visitors. To address the shortage of staff, the NMNS has specially recruited museum volunteers from abroad. This ensures that the museum can provide excellent service to visitors at all times. With high-quality science exhibits, enthusiastic staff, and a comfortable environment, the National Museum of Natural Science has become a popular choice for educational visits by various schools and is an important center for scientific learning.
