Lonely Planet review for Taipei Story House

the Taipei Story House was built in 1914 by an aristocratic tea trader. Its style was said to have been inspired by a building he saw while visiting the 1900 Paris Expo. Today the house is an exhibition space for Taipei nostalgia and history. Exhibits change frequently and might include goodies such as toys, matchboxes and comic books.

    Even if it's smaller than The Miniature Museum of Taiwan (also in Taipei), this Story House (which is located beside the Modern Museum of Taiwan) is also a great place to visit (especially for manga/comic/dolls lovers). I also found it amusing to collect every stamp they have. Ah, they also have Totoro stuffed toys ;)

    Afternoon Tea by Story House

    sophia63 recommends this,

    So after the Fine Arts museum, the Story House is a nice compliment. Just steps away, it's a quick review (2 floors, few rooms) and usually there is an interesting exhibit -- I saw one about the Cloud Gate dance troupe) taking up both inside and courtyard space. Creative display albeit in a small confined space... even more delightful perhaps, was the afternoon tea I found in the courtyard of the Story House, overlooking the garden. During a hot day (which is most days here in TPE), a lovely pot of tea and classically tiered presentation of sweet treats -- well it's a breath of fresh air and takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, even if only for a little while. Enjoy!
