Taipei Exploration Center Introduction
As a Taipei resident, do you know about Taipei? Welcome to the Taipei Exploration Center, where you can learn about all matters big and small related to Taipei. The Taipei Exploration Center has four floors: the first floor features the Taipei Impression Hall, showcasing Taipei impressions through images and videos; the second floor is the Special Exhibition Hall, which regularly hosts related exhibitions; the third floor is the Urban Exploration Hall, where you can see the history of Taipei streets such as Ketagalan Boulevard, Zhongshan North Road, Dunhua South and North Roads, and Zhongxiao East Road, along with the transformations of Ximen and Xinyi districts; the fourth floor is the Space-Time Dialogue Hall, equipped with interactive installations, replicas of ancient city walls, images, artifacts, and models, making it the perfect place to learn about Manka, Dadaocheng, Taipei City, and the Tamsui River. The Taipei Impression Hall on the first floor, with its minimalist style, immediately evokes the cultural richness of the Greater Taipei area. The main wall features multi-layered media images and floor projections, showcasing Taipei's diverse expressions. Although the Special Exhibition Hall on the second floor is small, it is "a small sparrow with complete internal organs," regularly hosting special exhibitions related to topics of interest to the city government or the public. The Urban Exploration Hall on the third floor allows for imaginative exploration, tracing the development trajectory of Taipei through changes in the streets. The Space-Time Dialogue Hall on the fourth floor represents the city’s development and historical evolution, akin to stepping into a time machine to experience the contrasts of the past and present, and the shifts in time and space. The Discovery Theater features a 360-degree big screen that shows four films: "The Identity of the City," "City Life," "City Charm," and "Good Times in Taipei," offering various stories and reflections about Taipei City, suitable for audiences of all ages to explore. Visitors can also take a look at the virtual reality tour of the exhibition online before visiting the Taipei Exploration Center!
