About this audio guide
This guide to the Taipei Astronomical Museum traces the telescope a newspaper bought in 1938 to mark its own anniversary, and how that single gift moved from downtown rooftops to the hills of Yuanshan and finally here to Shilin by 1996. You'll hear about the two telescopes now mounted on the dome above you, one open to the public and one reserved for researchers. Look up before you go inside.
