There is also a shop selling miniature kits, accessories and Taiwanese souvenirs. Allow at least an hour to explore, and follow the signs inside the building to find the entrance.
A museum below street level
The Miniatures Museum of Taiwan occupies the B1 level of a modern office building in Zhongshan District. It is within walking distance of Songjiang Nanjing MRT station, but the entrance can be easy to miss from inside the building. Follow the signs once you are in the lobby.
The museum’s appeal lies in looking closely. Its displays range across different subjects and scales, with compact scenes built from many small details. A quick circuit can turn into a longer visit if you pause to examine each room.
Storybook scenes and the museum shop
Among the scenes are miniatures inspired by Pinocchio, Peter Pan and Gulliver’s Travels. Other displays include treehouses and dinosaurs, as well as rooms that contain even smaller settings. The collection includes work in several styles, so the exhibits are not limited to fairy-tale scenes.
After the galleries, the museum shop sells miniature kits, accessories and Taiwanese souvenirs. If you want time to browse as well as see the displays, plan for more than an hour. Weekdays are a practical choice for a quieter visit; weekends tend to be busier. For photographs, a small lens hood can reduce reflections from the protective glass and spotlights.
