Juming Museum 朱銘美術館

Ever since noticing the signboard near the Dharma Drum Emblem Rock, a few of us had planned to visit this famous neigbhour of DDM, Juming Museum (朱銘美術館).
When LZ asked for directions, Venerable overheard and kindly volunteered to bring us there and it became our mini-overseas group excursion.
The entrance may look normal but after entering, that's beginning of a big venue tour expected!
You are welcomed into his art world via 2 stretches of wall paintings with wordings which reveals his thoughts before embarking on tour of his hugh sculpture art.
This caught my attention. A calligraphy of his state of realisation on hugh lantern exhibit?
The Living World Series- Parachutes under a mini pyramid to create reflection sensation...
Start of our outdoor tour of his hugh sculpture

The Army, Navy and Pilot series


His famous Taichi series
Just what we need, a big umbrella...what a sunny day!:-)


Indoor exhibits on painted wood
This is really a enriching experience to be able to see hugh exhibits of different themes using different materials. Above shown is just a fraction of its exhibits. The museum also has a creative section planned for children. I would say we greatly benefited from their professional guided tour to better appreciate how the art pieces are created and not lost in the hugh garden, hence I would strongly encouraged 1st-timers to follow their guided tour before venturing on your own. It's a great place where you could easily spend a relaxing half day there.:-)
They are closed on Mondays except on their national holidays and
their official web at : http://www.juming.org.tw/opencms/juming/.

Cheers :-)
