Lonely Planet review for National Museum Of History

Just outside the Botanical Gardens, Taiwan's first National Museum Of History is still an anchor of local arts and culture housed in an elegant Japanese-era building. 'History' is actually a misnomer - Chinese art history would be more accurate, with thousands of Chinese artifacts from Tang, Shang and other dynasties. The tea room on the 3rd floor has views of the Botanical Gardens' lotus pond. A tour in English takes place each afternoon.

    See the work of enigmatic painter Zhang Daqian

    dariush recommends this,

    I was amazed to find that the National Museum of of History has the paintings and drawings of Zhang Daqian, arguably the most famous Chinese painter of modern times, whilst the National Palace Museum has none. I love Chinese landscape paintings, and Zhang Daqian is my favourite artist, so I really loved this place. It's other exhibts were interesting as well.
