The National Comics Museum in Taipei is set to launch its inaugural exhibit on December 23, offering comic enthusiasts a new destination for artistic exploration. Situated in the former staff quarters of the Taichung Prison, the museum gained approval from the Executive Yuan in April.

Another attraction is "Barkley The Cat," an area adorned with whimsically scattered kitten patterns. The museum also includes three reading areas, a bathhouse area called "Pao Man-hua" ("Soaking in Comics"), and a section for comic graffiti. Visitors can enjoy "Jia Ramen" at Dormitory No. 12, designed for dining while enjoying Taiwanese comics. The northern site of the museum, featuring a new main building, is scheduled to open in 2029.
