That will be cool. Since I don’t really work that day, it will be nice to take a whole day to see what’s up with the museum. It got renovated and just reopened. Iutian has recommended it and David posted about it as well, but there hasn’t really been enough time to go there.I want to go back to Taipei MOCA ((Museum of Contemporary Art; 台北當代藝術館), because David reported that there was a new exhibition there called Second Skin. I was there last December, but I wouldn’t mind going back. [...] [...] It looks like we will be going to the National Palace Museum (國立故宮博物院) on Wednesday. That will be cool.

The layout of the museum doesn't really flow and some of the themes or chronology of the exhibits could be better explained. The artworks are undoubtedly exquisite and beautiful, but the educational experience still needs some work. Josh, I agree there are still some improvements that could be made.

But is the Nat Pal Museum post renovation really all that good? I went there about a month before the grand "re-opening" and it was still kind of dark, poorly arranged, and though undoubtably the world's main repository of Chinese art, still dissapointing in layout & overall feel.

We bumped into Tom, another Canadian and had dinner together with his girlfriend; a double date. They had been to the National Palace Museum in Taipei (NPM, 國立故宮博物院). This reminded me that we needed to go there before March 4th, the day that the important exhibit closes. I have read on David’s blog that 2 hours isn’t enough to visit it all, so I guess that we will have to take a whole day. It had recently reopened after a lot of renovating.
