Taipei 101 showcases Taiwan’s museums
An exhibition on Taiwan’s museums got under way at the 89th-floor observatory of the Taipei Financial Center Corp. building, better known as Taipei 101, June 30. The exposition, sponsored by the Council for Cultural Affairs, introduces 28 museums, with folk theater and do-it-yourself sessions on weekends until Aug. 31. “After they enjoy the spectacle of Taipei from on high, we hope visitors to Taipei 101, a must-see destination for many foreign tourists, will also get a glimpse of Taiwan from the inside,” CCA Minister Emile Chih-jen Sheng said at the opening. “More than 200 local museums are supported by the CCA, and these select few serve to show the richness and diversity of Taiwan’s local culture,” he said. The expo is divided into four sections, focusing on museums of folk theater, music and literature, ecology and local specialties. Shadow puppetry master Hsu Fu-chu, a winner of the Global Chinese Culture and Arts Award, started things off by demonstrating the workings of his paper puppets. The 74-year-old’s dexterity in simulating the lively movements of humans and animals ignited great interest from children in the audience, who then sat down to learn how to make their own puppets, with materials and guidance prepared by Kaohisung’s Shadow Puppet Theater. According to officials, this year’s event spotlights museums in southern and eastern Taiwan, as well as on the offshore islands. Last year’s inaugural show at Taipei 101 featured institutions in the northern and central parts of the country. “Around 2 million people visited the observatory last year, with 300,000 attending the expo,” TFCC Chairman Horace Lin said. “The museum exhibition will certainly benefit all three parties—the museums, this business and the general public.” The expo will move to the Dream Mall in Kaohsiung after it wraps up in Taipei.
