The National Palace Museum Open Data Platform

Exhibit

In what is certainly a first, the National Palace Museum (NPM) presents in its main galleries a special exhibition for children entitled "The NPM Zoo: Animal Paintings in the Museum Collection." From July 5 to September 25, children can come to the NPM and see paintings on all kinds of animals, ranging from ferocious ones (such as the lion and tiger) to fascinating and adorable ones (including the giraffe and goldfish). The "big brother and sister" curators at the NPM who take care of their precious "pets" in art have carefully selected some of the best and most interesting paintings of them to share with kids this summer.

To meet the need for recording information and ideas, unique forms of calligraphy (the art of writing) have been part of the Chinese cultural tradition through the ages. Naturally finding applications in daily life, calligraphy still serves as a continuous link between the past and the present. The development of calligraphy, long a subject of interest in Chinese culture, is the theme of this exhibit, which presents to the public selections from the National Palace Museum collection arranged in chronological order for a general overview.

Since relocating to Waishuangxi on the outskirts of Taipei City in 1965, the National Palace Museum has actively expanded its collection. In addition to increasing the annual budget for new purchases, regulations were established for accepting donations that correspond with the Museum's acquisition needs, encouraging collectors to contribute valuable works of art. Thus private holdings can become part of the public domain, to be shared and appreciated by everyone.

Gallery 208 has exhibited selected artworks that have been donated to the museum over the years to foster further study and wider awareness of these works, allowing people to deepen their appreciation for their precious cultural heritage. The current exhibition focuses primarily on works by seven calligraphers and painters who practiced their art in Taiwan: Huang Chun-pi (1898-1991), Tai Chin-nung (1902-1990), Lin Yu-shan (1907-2004), Wang Chuang-wei (1909-1998), Fu Chuen-fu (1910-2007), Yao Meng-ku (1912-1993), and Chiang Chao-shen (1925-1996). In addition to thanking donors for their generosity, we hope that those from all walks of life will continue to support and make the National Palace Museum a place for all the people.

Since 2011, the National Palace Museum initiated a series of high-resolution long-scroll painting animations. Using the latest technology, several high-definition projectors seamlessly unfold sceneries from classical long scroll paintings on the wall. In an effort to render the exquisite details in the masterpiece "One Hundred Horses" by the Qing court painter Giuseppe Castiglione (also known as Lang Shining), the museum upgraded the specifications of the installation to include six seamlessly integrated high-lumen projectors, altogether creating a powerful and immersive multimedia experience.

Through thousands of years of fighting against diseases humans have accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge, and the legacy of traditional medicine is still highly visible in contemporary life. The National Palace Museum is home to a rich collection of traditional medical texts, and many of which were once part of the Qing imperial collections of books or official compilations; others are rare editions uncovered by late Qing scholars in Japan, acquisitions by the Museum and donations from private collectors. Even today, this collection continues to be a valuable resource for academic research and an inspiration for innovative applications.
