The best sausage museum I've ever visited
But also my first sausage museum. Went there out of sarcasm but was positively surprised. Nice but small exhibition about Taiwans past from a consumer perspective. Some information about sausages, but not too much. Free entry, free samples and a lot of nice selfie spots (a mobile sausage seller's bike, sausage stalls, sausage producing kitchen and Taiwanese fantasy about how European shop windows may look like). The exhibition and the museum shop are also suitable for vegetarians, but the free samples and the restaurant aren't

Needs a curatorial overhaul
It’s merit lies in the fact that it is free, and for that reason it represents value for money! Some serious new Taiwan dollars have been spent on the displays, but sadly the story lacks any humanity. The information about the founder is limited to his name and when he died, and that is really sad. At least, that was the case for the Information available in English. This museum needs a curatorial rethink, but the coffee is good, and staff are friendly.
