Architectural treasure This new museum sat at the intersection of the central east-west axis and subsidiary north-south axis of the city. It was a long, rectangular building, its main face built along the axis of the city and the whole building totally symmetrical. It was beautifully proportioned, with its crisp lines setting off the classical design.
近代建築瑰寶「台灣總督府博物館」座居台北城東西主軸與南北次主軸的交叉點上，採一字長條形展開，正立面以台北中央軸線為準，左右完全對稱，建築組成元素之間，比例關係嚴謹、線條清晰，襯托和諧的典雅氣質。
