National Museum of Natural Science Introduction

The National Museum of Natural Science, abbreviated as the NMNS, 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 Checheng Fault Preservation Park in Zhushan Township have also become outdoor spaces affiliated with the NMNS. Not only is the content inside the museum rich and has significant educational value, but the outdoor spaces are also suitable for leisure and hiking. As a result, the museum has consistently ranked second in visitor numbers among museums in Taiwan, attracting around three million visitors each year. To address the shortage of staff, the NMNS has specially recruited volunteer workers from abroad. This allows the museum to provide excellent service to visitors at all times. With high-quality scientific displays, enthusiastic staff, and a comfortable environment, the National Museum of Natural Science has become a popular choice for educational field trips for schools at all levels and serves as an important center for scientific learning.
