National Taiwan Museum of Biodiversity Introduction
Located across from the 228 Peace Memorial Park, the Museum of Natural History focuses on paleontological exhibitions and is a repurposed historical building of the Bank of Taiwan, dating back to the Japanese colonial period. The exterior features a large stone structure with Roman columns, while the walls showcase a split joint method. The cast-iron windows are equipped with pulleys and counterweights for easy opening and closing, and they are embedded with hexagonal mesh wire screens pressed on glass, reflecting the construction techniques and craftsmanship of that era. The three-story high lobby is adorned with plaster relief sculptures and houses various paleontological specimens and large dinosaur models, among other exhibits, alongside a permanent exhibition on the history of the Land Bank and architectural restoration.
