Discover the Riches of Chinese History at the National Palace Museum

Step into the world of ancient China at Taiwan’s National Palace Museum, home to one of the planet’s most extensive collections of Chinese imperial artifacts and artwork. Your skip-the-line ticket ensures that you spend less time queuing and more time exploring cultural treasures from millennia past. With this ticket, access both the iconic Northern Branch in Taipei and the Southern Branch in Chiayi County, both of which offer insight into the legacy of Chinese civilization.

Marvel at Antiquities and Masterpieces

The museum’s galleries exhibit an unequaled range of Chinese art, including jade carvings dating back to the pre-dynastic period, ornately cast bronze bells from as early as the ninth century BC, and masterpieces of calligraphy and painting. Stand in awe before scrolls that stretch for over six meters, unraveling ancient stories before your eyes. No visit is complete without viewing the priceless artifacts like the Mao Gong ding, rare paintings by Huang Gongwang, and the museum’s stunning centerpiece: the delicately crafted Jadeite Cabbage with insects perched atop its vibrant green leaves.

An Immersive Cultural Experience

As you move between exhibits, gain greater understanding of dynastic China’s culture, politics, and daily life. The museum’s structure and displays are designed to educate and inspire visitors, whether you’re a first-time guest or an enthusiast of East Asian heritage. Interactive elements and seasonal exhibitions offer something new to discover on every visit.

Gardens and Tranquility Spaces

Your ticket provides access to the Zhishan Garden, a serene escape that mirrors the refined landscape art of traditional Chinese gardens. Enjoy a stroll among pavilions, ponds, and ornamental rock arrangements that reflect the philosophies underpinning classical Chinese culture. It's an ideal spot for reflection or a peaceful end to your museum experience.
