National Palace Museum

Taiwan’s flagship Chinese art museum in Shilin, with Exhibition Hall I generally open Tuesday–Sunday 09:00–17:00 and ticket sales until 16:30; select Monday openings are posted for 2026. Regular admission for non–R.O.C. visitors is NT$350; free-entry holidays and combined tickets with Taipei 101 Observatory appear on npm.gov.tw. Arrive at opening for major special exhibitions, then continue toward Shilin or a Dunhua lunch rather than stacking a tasting menu the same morning.
