National Palace Museum

Grand entry to the National Palace Museum

We can only take pictures outside the Museum

   The Museum contains the world's largest and most valuable collection of Chinese art and artifacts, covering 5,000 years of history. The building was designed after the original in Beijing and contains almost 650,000 items.  We estimated that we may have seen maybe 10,000 items on our first visit.  This was an remarkable and enjoyable experience to see the ancient Chinese art; and so our plan is to visit the Museum many times in order to see a good portion of the Palace Treasures.     

As we left the Museum Bob took a picture of the grand entrance .  The Zhisan Gardens (Palace Museum Gardens) are to the left.
