National Taiwan Museum - Geological Museum Introduction
Located across from the 228 Peace Memorial Park, this Natural History Museum focuses on paleontology and is a repurposed historical monument of the Chuan Ye Bank from the Japanese colonial period. The exterior features a massive stone building with Roman-style columns, while the walls are made using a split mortar technique. The cast iron windows are designed with pulleys and counterweights for easy opening and closing, and they are embedded with hexagonal mesh wire treated glass, showcasing the construction techniques and craftsmanship of the time. The three-story high hall is decorated with plaster relief sculptures, displaying various fossil specimens and large dinosaur models, along with permanent exhibitions on the history of the Land Bank and architectural restoration.
