Experience Highlights

Discover two must-see venues for understanding Taiwan’s history and cultural identity with these tickets to the National Palace Museum and the Shung Ye Museum in Taipei. At the former, you’ll admire an extraordinary collection of art and historical artefacts spanning nearly 5,000 years of Chinese history.

Round off the experience by visiting the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines, dedicated to the traditions, customs and heritage of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. Two very different yet complementary visits to give you an insight into the island’s rich culture.

  • Discover thousands of years of Chinese history and art at the National Palace Museum.
  • Admire iconic pieces such as the Jade Collar and the Meat-shaped Stone.
  • Learn about the culture of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples at the Shung Ye Museum.

Select date

Step by Step

With these tickets, you can visit the northern branch of the National Palace Museum, one of Taipei’s most important cultural institutions. Its collections span nearly 5,000 years of history and bring together works and artefacts from various Chinese dynasties.

During the tour, you’ll come across some of its most famous pieces, such as the Jade Collar, the Meat-shaped Stone and the Mao Gongding, as well as paintings, sculptures, ceramics and other artefacts that help to shed light on China’s artistic and cultural evolution over the centuries.

The ticket also includes entry to the nearby Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines, which focuses on the history and traditions of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. Its exhibitions offer a deeper insight into their ways of life, beliefs, clothing, everyday objects and cultural heritage.

Both museums are very close to one another, so you can easily combine a visit to both in a single day and gain a much broader perspective on the region’s history: from the extensive collections of Chinese art to the legacy of Taiwan’s indigenous communities.

    We found the combination of exhibits convenient. The Shung Ye Museum was smaller than expected, but very interesting and not at all tedious.

    I really liked the balance between art, history and local culture. It’s not a quick visit, but it is very enriching.

    The content is excellent, although I think you need to arrive early to make the most of it. If you’re short on time, it’s not quite enough.

    I’d heard of the Col de Jade and seeing it in person was quite an experience. But the best part was discovering other, less famous pieces.
