National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts<br />
Leaving the Taipei National Palace Museum, I decided to add<br />
other museums across Taiwan to my must-visit list. The Taipei<br />
Fine Arts Museum is closed to the public until the summer of<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, so I headed to Taichung to explore the National Museum<br />
of Fine Arts. Considered one of the finest modern art museums<br />
in Asia, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts provides a<br />
playful and interesting learning space for kids.<br />
The main building breaks the traditional scheme of architecture by<br />
using a transparent corridor that connects the museum and outdoor<br />
nature scenes to create a spatial transition and communicate a mutual<br />
awareness. Unlike the Taipei National Palace Museum, which houses<br />
a permanent collection of artifacts, the National Museum of Fine<br />
Arts features only one permanent exhibition on its third floor, which<br />
consists of mostly Taiwanese artifacts from the 18 th century to the<br />
present day.<br />
The lower floors of the museum regularly hold exhibitions featuring<br />
Western artworks, Chinese brush paintings, sculptures, and its own<br />
collection of valuable pieces of art. The National Museum of Fine Arts<br />
also provides a number of kids-friendly zones to encourage children<br />
to explore art and visit the museum's Picture Book Area and Family<br />
Room, both of which are often filled with children of all ages.<br />
My favorite part of the museum is the green park that surrounds the<br />
main entrance. The park contains 45 sculptures, and a stone tablet<br />
forest with 50 calligraphic tablets engraved onto stone by renowned<br />
Taiwanese scholars. The whole area measures 102,000 square meters<br />
with vast grassy areas where visitors often like to sit to enjoy the gentle<br />
breezes, and listen to the children laughing.<br />
