New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum Introduction
The Yingge Ceramics Museum, located in New Taipei City, is the first professional ceramics museum in Taiwan. It focuses on the development of ceramics in Taiwan over the past century, showcasing the memories and history of the ancestors who lived on this land. The museum is dedicated to integrating various resources, establishing positive interactions with the local community, and promoting cultural tourism development, fully demonstrating the features of the Yingge industry and local characteristics, while also stimulating public interest and care for ceramics. At the same time, it actively broadens its horizons to promote international ceramic art cultural exchanges, hoping to establish the subjectivity of Taiwanese ceramic culture through continuous effort. The overall architectural form, made of exposed concrete, steel framework, and transparent glass, creates a space that offers infinite extension and changes between reality and illusion, exhibiting a rustic beauty. The exquisite architecture constructs an excellent stage for ceramic displays and establishes a stunning landmark in Yingge. Upon arriving at the museum, visitors ascend tiered stone steps, cross a bridge over water, and experience the sound and visual effects created by a large water wall and pool, allowing for a moment of emotional tranquility and transformation before entering the museum with a pure heart. Inside, visitors will find a continuous and richly layered space, composed of exposed concrete, pebble walls, gray stone, and brown wood, within a three-story building plus two basement levels, providing a leisurely experience of artistic time. The architecture of the museum itself serves as a stage that embraces infinite possibilities, where the exhibits are not the only protagonists, but the audience also plays a leading role in the space. The museum features a "Children's Experience Room" designed specifically for children aged 4-10 and a "Ceramics Workshop" for amateur ceramic enthusiasts to study, create, and interact, providing the public with a closer tactile experience of the earth.
