Ju Ming Museum
Last weekend, I visited the Ju Ming Museum in Taiwan. I have been planning to see it for the past year but never managed to make the trip. Finally, having a 2-day weekend (I usually fly home on a 2-day weekend), I made it up there. Ju Ming is a famous Chinese artist with a focus on sculpture. The Museum includes an outdoor area featuring his famous Taichi Series along with the Military Series and Humanity Series. Most of the outdoor sculptures and displays are in a very big scale. I especially enjoyed the Taichi series as they have so much life in them even though they were all objects that do not move. The Military Series are pretty good too but they gave me a sadden mood when I was viewing this series. The Humanity Series included many interesting people in various acts and forms and was the most colourful series of them all. You probably have read or seen something related to his works since some of his works can be seen elsewhere around the World. I suggest to anyone who come to Taipei to spare some time if possible to visit the Museum. You would not be disappointed.On that same day, I also went to Ye Liu, a famous nature park featuring many interesting geographical landscape and rock forms that must have took many years to form. It is here where you would find the Queen’s Head features in many Taiwan tourism information. You can see some of the photos I took on that day through the Flickr photo link on the right.

I'm too unartistic to understand art, but at least the sculptures here in your photos look like people or something that we can recognise, unlike a piece of rock or marble or metal just sitting there and then somebody would buy it for 10 million bucks.

I guess I'm just horrific at art appreciation.
