About this audio guide
This guide to the National Taiwan Science Education Center in Taipei starts with the sky bike, a ride that sends visitors pedaling along a wire twenty meters above an atrium floor, and the counterweight trick that keeps it upright. It traces the museum's own path, from a nineteen fifty-six opening in Banqiao Park through several moves and name changes to its present home in Shilin. You'll hear about the building's design, a circular shell wrapped around a square core, and what that shape is meant to echo. Listen for the sky bike's wire as you make your way up through the floors.
