Taipei's 101 tower and the National Palace Museum opened the Time Travel to Qing exhibition in Taipei on 14 October 2026. The collaboration runs until 31 January 2027 at the tower's observatory, linking Qing court themes with one of Taiwan's most recognisable visitor sites.
Time Travel to Qing opens at the Taipei observatory
The exhibition is presented as Time Travel to Qing: National Palace FUN Museum at TAIPEI 101. Radio Taiwan International reported that the programme began on 14 October 2026 and will continue through 31 January 2027. Its venue is the observatory, 382 metres above sea level, rather than the National Palace Museum's main site.
The National Palace Museum and the tower are jointly presenting the exhibition for the museum's 101st anniversary. The same announcement says the partnership also includes more than 50 co-branded products. A report on the exhibition opening names both institutions, the start date and the observatory venue.
Five themed areas connect Qing history with the tower
The exhibition has five themed experience areas. The announced themes include an imperial dragon throne, a garden in the clouds, a Taipei interpretation of Along the River During the Qingming Festival and a cloud-based Taipei street scene.
That structure gives the event a clear connection to its setting. Visitors encounter interpretations of palace culture inside an observation venue high above Taipei, while the programme also turns the tower into part of the exhibition's cityscape. The operator identifies the observatory as part of its visitor complex and lists the entrance at the office tower's first floor on its official visitor information.
The collaboration joins two attractions that the opening report places among Taiwan's top 10 sites for international visitors. It also reflects the anniversary context: the National Palace Museum is marking 101 years, while the exhibition uses the tower's height and observatory as part of its presentation.
