(NPM) in Taipei are to be raised from 2018 in the latest move to adjust admittance rates, the museum’s director said Wednesday.
Speaking at a Legislative Yuan Education and Culture Committee meeting, NPM Director Lin Jeng-yi (林正儀) said that according to the Ministry of Finance Charges and Fees Act, the NPM is required to revise its ticket prices once every three years. The last time a revision was made was in July 2014.
From Jan. 1, 2018, admittance to the NPM’s northern branch in Taipei will be raised to NT$350 (US$11.65) from NT$250, while regular group tickets for groups of 10 or more will also be raised from NT$230 to NT$320 per person. [FULL STORY]
