Palace Museum in Taipei

Located in front of a hill and surrounded by a garden, the Palace Museum stands out with its colourful architecture. It’s a must when you’re in Taipei. I spent an afternoon having looking at paintings and other artworks on display showcasing ancient times and history at every corner. It got a bit crowded after a while, but the museum is so big that you get easily immersed in special effects and interactive features. You can also buy souvenirs from the gift shop there. Entrance ➡️ There is an entrance fee. How to go ➡️ I took the MRT(that’s how the metro system is called in Taiwan)to Shilin Station 🚇 and then took bus 🚌 R30. The museum is across from the bus. #finearts #museumquest #museumlovers #history #taipeitravel #taipei

The National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan, houses treasures such as the Jadeite Cabbage, Meat-Shaped Stone, and Mao Gong Ding

Covering an area of approximately 16 hectares, the museum's architecture is modeled after traditional Chinese palatial structures, with a four-story main building featuring white walls and green tiles, and its courtyard is plum blossom-shaped. In front of the plaza stands an archway made of six stone pillars, inscribed with Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy reading 'For the world community'. The collection includes Shang and Zhou dynasty bronzes, jades from various dynasties, ceramics, ancient manuscripts, famous paintings, and steles, all of which are rare treasures, with more than 700,000 items in the museum's collection. The National Palace Museum in Taipei has three main treasures: the Jadeite Cabbage, Meat-Shaped Stone, and Mao Gong Ding. The museum also houses rare treasures such as the San Family Tray, 'Timely Clearing After Snowfall' by Wang Xizhi, 'Cold Food Observance' by Su Shi, 'Draft of a Requiem to My Nephew' by Yan Zhenqing, 'Early Spring' by Guo Xi, 'Huazi Ridge' by Fan Kuan, 'Yongle Encyclopedia', and 'Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature'. The Jadeite Cabbage is a piece of the dowry of the Empress Consort Jin, wife of Emperor Guangxu, finely crafted with auspicious symbolism. Measuring 18.7 cm in length, 9.1 cm in width, and 5.0 cm in thickness, this nearly lifelike representation of a cabbage is carved from jadeite, with a familiar subject matter, pristine white body, and verdant leaves that feel both familiar and intimate. The Meat-Shaped Stone measures 5.73 cm in height and 6.6 cm in width, and at first glance, it resembles a piece of freshly cooked Dongpo pork that seems to emit a fragrance. This stone has not undergone any carving and is a natural agate stone. The Mao Gong Ding stands 54 cm tall, with a depth of 27.2 cm, a mouth diameter of 47 cm, and a weight of 34.5 kg. The inner wall of the ding is inscribed with text, 32 lines totaling nearly 500 characters, which is the longest inscription found on existing bronzes. The content is complete and detailed, earning it the reputation of being 'equivalent to a chapter of the Shangshu' and is an important historical document for studying the late Western Zhou dynasty politics. 📍Detailed Address: National Palace Museum: No. 221, Section 2, Zhi Shan Road, Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan Province, China

Trip to National Palace Museum

This museum is located in Taipei, Taiwan. It has many interesting ancient stories here with nice scenery covered in greenery and windy garden. I have been to this place about 2 years ago around Nov 2019 during my Taiwan trip . Weather was pretty good at that time. This was one of the place I enjoyed a lot. Thanks to the taxi driver who briefed me about this place . He is really fit to be a tour guide. Made new friends here. I had actually planned to visit Taiwan once again in Nov 2020 but due to this pandemic I had postponed to this year Dec 2021 but I don’t think travel is going to happen so soon . So I decided to post some of my previous memorable places that I have visited the in the past :) To place is situated near Shilin Metro Station . Then from there I took a cab there . #newphotographer#nationalpark#unforgettableexperiences#museumquest
