National Museum of Taiwan Literature

The National Museum of Taiwan Literature is housed in a striking early 20th-century building that was once the Tainan City Hall. Visitors journey through the development of Taiwanese literature, from oral traditions to modern works, with exhibits featuring original manuscripts, rare editions, and multimedia displays. The museum highlights the island's multilingual literary landscape, including works in Chinese, Taiwanese Hokkien, Hakka, and indigenous languages. Interactive stations allow you to listen to poetry readings or try calligraphy. The building itself, with its grand staircase and arched windows, adds to the experience.
