The Shisanhang Museum's permanent exhibition and limited-time textile exhibition offer some hands-on activities (reconstructing pottery, archaeological heritage knowledge challenge hall of fame). The time-lapse photography showcasing the iron casting process is also well done. It also touches upon the Dapenkeng site (though only a few display boards are provided?). Back then, to build a sewage treatment plant, only a small portion of the site was allocated for the museum. As for cultural merchandise and interior displays, well, there's almost no merchandise related to Japanese special exhibitions (there's a Japanese book about the Kofun period). The outdoor game challenges also seem to attract little interest, which is a bit of a shame. At least the National Museum of Prehistory in Taitung has actual archaeological shelters... There's also an underwater archaeology exhibition showcasing the process and related materials of underwater archaeological operations. Educational and Entertaining Experience: Through immersive theaters and VR interactive devices, the museum vividly demonstrates the iron smelting technology and prehistoric life of the Shisanhang people. The second floor features a "Children's Archaeology Experience Room," allowing children to enjoy the fun of excavating pottery shards and stone tools in a sandpit, which is highly educational. Architectural Artistic Beauty: The entire building is exceptionally well-designed and has received the Taiwan Architecture Award. The most distinctive features are the "Dune Observation Deck," symbolizing a whale's back, and the inclined "Archaeological Octagonal Tower." Their fair-faced concrete texture and unique interplay of light and shadow make them popular spots for photos.
Please check the official website to qualify for free tickets. General admission is $80. Ticket prices are the same as on-site. Use the QR code to go to the counter to verify and then stamp for admission. The venue is not big, but there are many interactive settings for children. So I spent a lot of time, it is a good place to escape the summer heat indoors and provide education and entertainment! There are restrooms and water dispensers on each floor. There is no dining in the exhibition hall. There is a rest area on the first floor, which sells drinks and simple bread and can be eaten inside. Parking is in outdoor areas

A great place to escape the heat during summer travel ~ It’s free for New Taipei residents! Buying tickets at klook is also very environmentally friendly and convenient. Although the exhibition hall is not large, there are many interactive experience facilities to play ~
The exhibition is very rich in content and the children had a lot of fun. It is very suitable for bringing adults and children to experience. It is very convenient to drive, the exhibition hall is easy to find, and there is a parking lot nearby.
It’s a fun and photogenic place. There are many interactive facilities that you can experience. The design of the exhibition hall is also very fashionable. The overall feeling is very spacious. You can stay for 1-2 hours if you really want to browse!
It is convenient to buy e-tickets, and the exchange is fast. I have been here many years ago, and this time there is a new VR experience, and the staff are kind. Children from the country come to learn about Taiwan's archeology and watch the sunset along the way. It's pretty good.
It is easy to purchase and the ticket price is cheap, which is very suitable for bringing children to experience archaeological activities^_^. There are many facilities suitable for children in the venue, which is very interesting.

Guide

  • The Shisanhang Museum of Archaeology, built in 1998, is located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and is Taiwan's first municipal archaeological museum.
  • Opened in 2003, its purpose is to preserve and promote the prehistoric culture of the Shisanhang site.
  • Visit the very distinctive museum architecture and experience the different types of building complexes designed by architect Sun Te-Hung.
  • Appreciate and explore the award-winning building complexes constructed with fair-faced concrete, representing the imagery of mountains and seas, past and present.

【Shisanhang Museum of Archaeology】 The Shisanhang site preserves the prehistoric Iron Age culture of Taiwan from 1800 to 500 years ago. According to archaeological experts, the people may be related to the Ketagalan tribe among the Pingpu people. In 1998, the government officially began to build the “Shisanhang Museum of Archaeology” on the preserved land of the Shisanhang site. The museum preserves and displays the relics of the ancestors, hoping to introduce the precious prehistoric site to all visitors. In addition, it also set up a time-space sky bridge and regularly holds various special exhibitions, hoping that people can experience the historical trajectory of Shisanhang culture across time while enjoying the Tamsui River bank.

The museum introduces the Shisanhang culture discovered from the site in an interesting way, letting us know what life was like for the Shisanhang people a thousand years ago. At the same time, it also regularly holds special exhibitions, sometimes introducing the historical trajectory of the Tamsui River’s development, and sometimes archaeological explorations with scientific and educational significance. The special exhibitions are very relaxed and interesting, allowing visitors to absorb rich knowledge while having fun, and also inspiring children’s interest in history.
