Taiwan’s National Palace Museum is home to an incredible 700,000 plus artifacts and artwork that chronicles China’s history from early Neolithic to contemporary times. Impressive by any standard, many pieces forming part of the museum’s collection were gathered during the Ming and Qing dynasty periods, reflecting an appreciation of the contribution made by earlier eras to later development in subsequent centuries. The museum’s buildings are impressive and visionary, reflecting the balance of ancient and new, both within and without, and the influences both have on Taiwan today.
