National Museum of Natural Science Introduction

The National Museum of Natural Science, abbreviated as the NMNS, is primarily divided into six major areas: the Space Theater, Science Center, Life Science Hall, Earth Environment Hall, Human Culture Hall, and Botanical Garden. The 921 Earthquake Educational Park in Wufeng District, Taichung City, the Fenghuang Valley Bird Park in Lugu Township, Nantou County, and the Chechengpu Fault Preservation Park in Zhushan Township have also become outdoor areas of the museum. Not only is the content inside the museum rich and educationally valuable, but the outdoor parks are also suitable for leisure walks. Consequently, it consistently ranks as the second most-visited museum in Taiwan, attracting around three million visitors annually. To address the shortage of museum staff, the NMNS has specially introduced volunteer staff from abroad. This allows the museum to provide quality service to visitors at all times. With its excellent scientific exhibitions, enthusiastic staff, and comfortable environment, the National Museum of Natural Science is a popular choice for educational visits by schools at all levels, making it an important center for scientific learning.
