National Taiwan Science Education Center
The National Taiwan Science Education Center brings hands-on science learning to Shilin through permanent galleries, laboratories, theaters, and rotating exhibitions. Its subjects range from life sciences and physics to mathematics and Earth science.
National Textile Museum
The National Textile Museum explores Malaysian textile traditions in a heritage building completed in 1896. Its galleries trace materials, techniques and trade, from songket and batik to regional woven and embroidered cloths.
National Theatre
Istana Budaya, Malaysia’s National Theatre, gathers a whole architectural story into a single silhouette: the outline recalls a Kelantan moon kite, while its plan draws on the parts of a traditional Malay house.
Nativity of Christ Cathedral
Riga’s Nativity of Christ Cathedral is an Orthodox church with Neo-Byzantine domes and patterned brickwork. Built in the nineteenth century, it was converted into a planetarium under Soviet rule and later restored for worship.
Natural History Museum
Alfred Waterhouse designed the Natural History Museum as a “cathedral to nature,” decorating its terracotta architecture with living and extinct species. Its façade and Hintze Hall connect scientific knowledge with public display.
Natural History Museum
Milan’s Natural History Museum began with a donated collection and later moved into a purpose-built museum in the city gardens. Its displays of fossils, minerals, and biodiversity continue a scientific institution founded through civic support for natural knowledge.
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County stands in Exposition Park, where a domed rotunda and historic galleries hold collections of fossils, minerals and cultural objects. Its building opened in 1913 as a museum for history, science and art.
Naval Museum
Madrid’s Naval Museum preserves the material culture of maritime history: maps, instruments, ship models, weapons, paintings, and flags. Its collection began as an educational project for naval officers, then became a public museum in the capital.
Navigli
The Navigli district is a surviving fragment of a much larger water network. Canals once carried passengers and goods into Milan, including marble for the Duomo; today the visible waterways connect neighborhoods, public spaces, and the former harbor at Darsena.
Naviglio Grande
Naviglio Grande carries a long history of movement in a landscape now read at walking pace. Its construction began in the twelfth century, and once navigable it helped bring Candoglia marble toward Milan for the building of the Duomo.
Neal's Yard
Neal’s Yard is a small Covent Garden courtyard whose colourful façades now conceal a much rougher history. In the 1970s, Nicholas Saunders helped turn a neglected service yard into a gathering place, beginning with a wholefood shop and a different idea of neighborhood retail.
NEMO Science Museum
NEMO’s copper-green, ship-like profile rises above the Oosterdok, its roof forming a public square over the city. The curved building follows the challenge of a tunnel beneath it; inside, hands-on exhibits turn science into something to test.
Neptune Fountain
Berlin’s Neptune Fountain has moved across the city’s symbolic center. Created by Reinhold Begas in the late nineteenth century, it once stood beside the former palace and was relocated to its present position between the Rotes Rathaus and television tower in 1969.
Neptune Fountain
Neptune’s Fountain stands amid the monumental avenues around the Prado, its sea god raised above a chariot drawn by hippocamps. The sculpture was once planned in relation to Cibeles; its later relocation reshaped the pair into separate landmarks across the city center.
Neue Nationalgalerie
Neue Nationalgalerie’s glass pavilion and vast steel roof make structure itself the museum’s central visual event. Mies van der Rohe designed it for postwar West Berlin as a place for twentieth-century art, creating a largely open hall whose few supports sharpen the experience of space and light.
Neues Museum
Neues Museum carries visible scars of wartime destruction alongside a carefully integrated modern restoration. David Chipperfield’s work preserved surviving fragments rather than recreating every lost surface, allowing the building itself to show how Berlin’s museums were damaged and rebuilt.
New Mosque
The New Mosque anchors Eminönü beside the Spice Bazaar and the Golden Horn, linking worship, trade, and public movement. Its construction stretched across generations, and the surrounding complex helped finance the mosque through commercial activity.
New Riga Theatre
The New Riga Theatre returned to its rebuilt home at Lāčplēša iela 25 in 2024. The site has hosted generations of Latvian theatre companies, while the present institution was founded in 1992.
New York Botanical Garden
The New York Botanical Garden preserves a broad landscape of gardens, wetlands, and old-growth forest in the Bronx. Founded in 1891, it combines public horticulture with scientific research and collections that document plant life.
New York Public Library (Schwarzman Building)
The New York Public Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building stands on the former site of the Croton Reservoir. Its grand Beaux-Arts rooms house research collections, expressing a public promise that knowledge should be available to everyone.
Nezu Museum
Nezu Museum combines galleries of premodern Japanese and East Asian art with a garden of paths, teahouses, lanterns, and wooded slopes. The collection began with businessman Nezu Kaichirō, who acquired the Aoyama site in 1906 and hoped to share his art with the public.
Nezu Shrine
At Nezu Shrine, a tunnel of closely spaced red torii gates leads toward the small Otome Inari shrine nearby, while the main shrine buildings nearby preserve early eighteenth-century craft and Tokugawa-era patronage.
Ngong Ping 360
Ngong Ping 360 links Tung Chung with the mountain plateau near Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha. The aerial ropeway makes the journey itself part of the visit, crossing Lantau’s coastal and upland landscapes.
Nieuwe Kerk
Nieuwe Kerk was “new” when Amsterdam’s growing population needed a second parish church in the early fifteenth century. Beside Dam Square, its Gothic spaces preserve traces of fire, religious upheaval, royal ceremonies, and the elaborate craft of its pulpit and choir screen.
