The National Palace Museum,[a] also known as Taipei Palace Museum,[b][3][4][5] is a national museum headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan.[6] Founded in Beijing in 1925, the museum was re-established in Shilin, Taipei in 1965, later expanded with a southern branch in Taibao, Chiayi in 2015.

The museum holds a permanent collection of nearly 700,000 pieces of artifacts and artworks, primarily comprising items relocated from the Beijing Palace Museum and five other institutions in the mainland China during the government of the Republic of China's retreat to Taiwan. Before the re-establishment of the museum in Shilin in 1965, these collections were temporarily housed in various locations across Taiwan.

Spanning 8,000 years of history from the neolithic age to the modern era, the museum's collection reflects a comprehensive record of Chinese history.[7] Like the Palace Museum in Beijing, the museum's extensive array of artifacts and artworks were based on the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Forbidden City.
