How curious! The Mongolian & Tibetan Cultural Center stands where a religious sect once resided. The building itself is a blend of architectural styles, a testament to the cultural tapestry of Taipei. The Mongolian & Tibetan Cultural Center originally belonged to the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission. In 2017, the commission was dissolved. The Mongolian & Tibetan Cultural Center then took on the responsibility of promoting Mongolian and Tibetan culture. While it may seem odd to have such a center in Taiwan, it reflects a time when the Republic of China encompassed a much larger territory. The center houses exhibitions on the third and fourth floors that delve into the history and art of these regions. Visitors can learn about traditional Mongolian clothing, Tibetan Buddhism and the unique lifestyle of nomadic Mongols. The Mongolian & Tibetan Cultural Center may not be on the typical tourist trail. But for those with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore the lesser-known facets of Taipei, it’s a hidden gem.
