Located inside the Taipei Botanical Garden, the National Museum of History opened over 50 years ago. Originally housing pieces from the collection of the Henan Museum, the museum has grown over the decades to become an important center for art and culture in Taipei. The collection comprises works donated by over 400 private collectors, including rope-pattern pottery, Han ceramics, painted dancer and musician figurines from the Six Kingdoms period, Tang-era tri-color glazed ceramics, oracle bones, bronze vessels, porcelain, historic documents and other precious works.
