Lonely Planet review for 2-28 Memorial Museum

Located inside 2-28 park, the 2-28 Memorial Museum offers an explanation of the events of 28 February 1947 massacre and of the repercussions that followed. Acknowledgment of the 2-28 incident was a pivotal part of Taiwan's transformation from dictatorship to democracy.

Though there is little in the way of English signage in the museum, a multilingual walking tour device is available. However, there are generally bilingual volunteers on hand willing to walk you through and explain the significance of various events and displays. The building itself is significant, for it was from this, the former KMT radio station that officials tried to calm the masses as panic swept the island.

    Learn about Taiwan's real history here.

    wix99 recommends this,

    This is the most important museum for understanding the history of Taiwan. Unfortunately there were some changes to the museum when it reopened in 2010 that reduced the effectiveness of its storytelling. It is still a must visit though.
