National Museum of Natural Science Introduction

National Museum of Natural Science, abbreviated as NMNS, is mainly divided into six major exhibition areas, including: Space Theater, Science Center, Life Science Hall, Earth Environment Hall, Human Culture Hall, and 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 also serve as external venues of the museum. The rich and educational contents inside the museum, along with the suitability of the outdoor areas for leisure walks, have made it one of the top museums in Taiwan by annual visitor numbers, averaging around three million. In response to the lack of staff in the museum, NMNS has especially brought in museum volunteers from abroad. This allows the museum to provide good services to visitors at all times. With its high-quality scientific exhibitions, enthusiastic staff, and comfortable environment, the National Museum of Natural Science has become a preferred choice for educational visits by schools at all levels and a crucial center for scientific learning.
