Chimei Museum

Incredible display of historical items. The founder has truly shared an astounding collection of worldwide history!
Artwork from all around the world, musical instruments, weaponry, and so much more. The museum itself is an amazing building with such beautiful architecture and engineering. For the price, this is one of the best value for money places I've found in Taiwan so far. You could spend a whole day there and still not see anything. Having said that, I would recommend at least 4-6 hours to enjoy the majority of it. Must go!

Beautiful Architecture Europe style. you can take a photos with Buildings and Large beautiful bridge and man made Lake. Quite big inside museum alot of interesting things. Animal kingdom, paintings,Musical instruments, digital orchestra, if you come to Tainan This place is a good destination to visit.

Very nice museum and a good place to see the old artefacts especially the music instruments. There is also a section for creativity where you can draw anything based on your imagination. Good place to bring kids and let them explore their creativity.

Large collection of art, taxidermy animals from all over the world, marble sculptures and busts, musical instruments and violins.

Family friendly, keep in mind that there are sections where cameras are prohibited.

The gift shop is on the second floor after entering from the front.

Went on a weekday so there’s less people and more space to enjoy the museum.

I went to this museum to see the current exhibition, but that day that area was too crowded. I opted instead to see the permanent exhibits (of primarily Western art), which I didn't think I would enjoy it because I have visited many museums in Europe and New York.

However, I was happily surprised that I learned new information from the various and diverse pieces from all over the world. I recommend renting an audio guide to learn much more about the pieces. It includes descriptions of the outdoor statues, bridges, and grounds.

I also recommend timing your visit to end around closing time to take advantage of the Golden Hour as you exit and take photos outside.

No exaggeration this was one of the best museums I have been to. Exhibits for fine art, instruments, animals, weapons and armour, all of these across major regions of the world. What a spectacular and diverse place to spend hours on end at. The special exhibit was quite something as well.

Although I've visited on weekend, there's no long queue. Ticket can purchase upon entering the museum. A museum with lots of exhibitions during Renaissance period. But unfortunately, not all of them can keep on your gallery because taking photos are prohibited on most of the area. Really impressive. It's easily accessible from Tainan HSR. Just take bus H31 from Exit 2 just look at its timetable to avoid any delay and it's free of charge.

A must go if you are in the Tainan region, it's one of the most impressive museums that I've been to in Asia with a grand entrance/square and is adjacent to a well kempt park. It contains exhibitions about weapons, musical instruments, fine arts (sculptures, paintings) and more. Only 200 NTD

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of fine arts but I was truly blown away by this museum. Just one train stop away from the main Tainan train station. Spent 2 nights in Tainan and THIS was the highlight of my trip.

We spent a whole day just visit all the halls and checked out all the collections. We're amazed a private museum can have such a huge quantity and high quality collections. This museum is a combination of smaller version of the Metropolitan Museum plus the American Museum of Nature History in NYC!

The collections of instruments are awesome!!! Especially the violins and the antique pianos!!

This museum is a blessing to Taiwan.
Highly recommended!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This museum was really a sight to behold. The exterior was already beautiful, but the exhibits were even more impressive. The permanent animal and weapon history exhibits were so comprehensive and I was in awe of the scale of the collection items. Definitely a must-visit!

One of my favorite museums. The art collection is impressive. Its huge so be ready to walk and stand all day. The eating area is quite small so we had to wait for a table to become available. There are lockers for only 10ntd. The souvenir shop is also nice.

Pleasant visit. Worth seeing some of unique take on history of instruments and even the history of weapons from older civilizations. Spacious and clean facilities. The 7-11 was busy and ran out of a number of items for a quick lunch by mid-afternoon.

The garden is so beautiful, walkable and very cozy here. It's a good place to relax, the architecture looks like old Greece and the location is just near the Bao An train station. Make sure to use sunscreen and bring an umbrella, it's really hot in summer.

台南奇美博物館！I’m so happy this museum is open in Tainan and I can ride the bus here in 30 minutes from home. It is free for me who is Tainan residents. The outdoor area is much bigger than the indoor space and it is very comfortable to walk in the morning when it’s not sunny. The museum is very new and clean. They even have kids area like arts and crafts class. Great place for families and friends! Don’t miss this one if you’re in Tainan. Starbucks and family mart on site.

Chimei Museum is a fantastic place to visit. With its diverse exhibition halls and a wide array of fascinating artifacts, it's sure to captivate you for hours. You can even take some beautiful photos if you're in a hurry, but be prepared for some sun exposure.

A "must visit" place in Tainan. The collections here are amazing. It is definitely worth the ticket price

Amazing museum! The permanent exhibition features a lot of animals of all kinds which on its own is worth the visit already. The rest of the exhibition is great too, especially if you like old weapons and armour, musical instruments and funerals arts.

An absolute must when in Tainan. I was v impressed with the sophisticated architecture that showcase modern in Building 2 and heritage in Building 1.

Surprised by the sheer amount of collections this private museum has.

I would say comparable to the Museum of Natural History in New York. Feels Surreal, from the Entrance to the Main Building.

Must visit if you are Tainan. And would be worth the effort even if you are in Taipei.
