CoupleVerified bookingJun 20265/5A very smooth process that was quick and simple. I liked being able to download the ticket to my phone and found the pricing to be competitive with other similar providers.MMargaret C
SoloVerified bookingJun 20264/5Loved the museum. Process with the tickets was confusing as there were two QR codes for each ticket.VVicki T
SoloVerified bookingMay 20265/5I now understand the magic of ceramics. The quality of the artifacts is world class. For this museum alone a stay in Taipei is essential. Disables access is available and easily found. A great ice cream shop is in the start of the ramps and the museum restaurant on 4 th floor had great food great views and great staff. 4 1/2 hours went quickly. Having a prepaid ticket meant no line upsMMary B
GroupVerified bookingJun 20265/5HAving bought tickets ahead of time was a great move - easy and quick to get in. Saw amazing and fabulous items. Museum is too huge to see in one day but you can see the hghlights easily in a day. Easy to get to. Beautiful grounds - a visit to the gardens is a must.EEija H

Features
-
Main exhibition halls and current exhibitions are included, so you can move between galleries and follow the collections that interest you most without needing additional tickets.

Access via a reserved-priority entrance queue with eligible e-tickets reduces waiting time at entry and lets you start inside the museum more quickly.

-
A guided tour in English is included with the "Skip the Line Tickets + English Guided Tour" option, led by an English-speaking guide who explains key artworks and sections of the museum.
-
Official partner tickets and no ticket collection required mean your mobile voucher or QR code is all you need to enter, without visiting a separate ticket counter.
Zhishan Garden
Zhishan Garden is the classical garden area beside the museum where you can step outdoors between or after the galleries. It provides a quieter extension to your visit.

For some visitors, the experience continues beyond the museum itself with a food component linked to a well-known restaurant brand.
