New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum Introduction
New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum is the first professional ceramics museum in Taiwan, focusing on the development of ceramics over the past century in Taiwan. It presents the memories and history of the ancestors living in this land. The museum is dedicated to integrating various resources to establish a positive interaction with the local community, promoting cultural tourism development, showcasing the industries and local characteristics of Yingge, and inspiring the public's interest and care for ceramics. It actively broadens its perspective to promote international ceramic culture exchange and aims to establish the subjectivity of Taiwanese ceramic culture through continuous efforts. The overall architectural form features exposed concrete, a steel frame, and transparent glass, creating a space with infinite extension and changes in reality and illusion, showcasing a rustic aesthetic. The beautiful architecture provides an excellent stage for ceramic displays and establishes a stunning landmark for Yingge. Upon arriving at the museum, visitors ascend the stone steps, cross over the water bridge, and experience the sound and visual effects created by the large water wall and pool, leading to a state of tranquility and emotional transition, entering the museum with a pure heart. Inside, a continuous and richly layered space made of exposed concrete, pebble walls, gray stone, and brown wood is spread over three floors above ground and two underground levels, allowing visitors to wander through the timelessness of art. The architecture of the museum itself serves as a stage of infinite possibilities, where the exhibits are not the only protagonists; the audience is also a key part of the space. There is a "Children's Experience Room" specifically designed for children aged 4-10 and a "Ceramics Workshop" that provides amateur ceramic enthusiasts with spaces for research, creation, and exchange, allowing the public to engage more intimately with clay.
