National Museum of Natural Science Introduction

The National Museum of Natural Science, abbreviated as the NMNS, features six main exhibition areas, including: the Space Theater, Science Center, Life Science Hall, Earth Environment Hall, Human Culture Hall, and Botanical Garden. The 921 Earthquake Education Park in Wufeng, Taichung City, the Phoenix Valley Bird Park in Lugu Township, Nantou County, and the Chechengpu Fault Preservation Park in Zhushan Town have also become external areas of the museum. Not only does the museum have rich and educational content, but the external parks are also suitable for leisure and outdoor activities. As a result, the museum has ranked second in visitor numbers among all museums in Taiwan over the years, with about three million visitors. To address the shortage of staff within the museum, NMNS has specially recruited museum volunteers from abroad. This allows the museum to provide excellent service to visitors at any time. With high-quality science exhibits, enthusiastic staff, and a comfortable environment, the National Museum of Natural Science has become a popular choice for schools to conduct educational visits and is an important center for scientific learning.
