“A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity and sustainability. They operate and communicate ethically, professionally and with the participation of communities, offering varied experiences for education, enjoyment, reflection and knowledge sharing.” ---International Council of Museums, 2022
National Taiwan Museum, as a member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), abides by the values and aspirations shared in this community, including the latest definition of museums. Museums are obligated to strive for accessibility and inclusion for its audience. And one of the most effective efforts to create a friendly museum environment is to provide multilingual services.
In addition to exhibitions introducing the cultural diversity of Taiwan, the Museum has been organizing docent training events for Taiwan's immigrants and international students since 2014 and 2015. Before the impact of COVID-19, the Museum was able to serve the audience of different backgrounds with guided tour service in their native languages on a weekly basis. However, between 2020 and 2022, under the impact of the pandemic, not only did the Museum cancel physical events including real-person guided tours, but also did Taiwan receive much less international visitors and volunteers.
Now, we are excited to announce our comeback after the pandemic. More multilingual guided tours will resume. Please refer to the following information for the lastest schedule of the real-person multilingual guided tours.
