Chimei Museum Introduction
The contemporary sculpture master Ju Ming from Taiwan has planned an 11-hectare art park in the scenic Jinshan area, showcasing important works from different periods according to various terrains. This artistic area, teeming with modernity and humanistic spirit, was completed in 1999. Initially, Mr. Ju aimed to solve the storage problem for large works, but later, inspired by nature, he decided to build a space that displays his lifelong masterpieces and allows artists to unleash their creativity. The outdoor sculpture installations are divided into the Tai Chi Plaza, Human Square, and Sports Plaza. The Tai Chi Plaza is the largest exhibition area and represents his most original peak creations. Standing in the open plaza, surrounded by imposing and extraordinary large bronze sculptures, one can almost perceive the realm of Tai Chi—a harmonious unity with nature. Additionally, the pyramid-shaped main building of the Ju Ming Museum itself serves as a vibrant artistic form, showcasing not only Ju Ming's flat works, wood carvings, and ceramic pieces but also displaying works and historical materials from his mentors, Li Jinchuan and Yang Yingfeng. The Ju Ming Museum provides a spacious exhibition environment free from spatial constraints, allowing for a diverse presentation of artistic expressions, offering visitors more recreational opportunities to engage with art. Here, one can appreciate both dynamic and static artistic works from indoors to outdoors. There is also a "Children's Art Center" designed specifically for kids, featuring an art experience room, experimental exhibition space, water play area, and a Big Mouth Children's Restaurant, perfect for family visits while meeting children's diverse needs for art experiences, performances, play, and dining. Covering over 30,000 square meters, it is the largest park museum in Taiwan. The museum, including both indoor and outdoor spaces, has a collection of over a thousand remarkable artworks by Master Ju Ming, making it ideal for visitors and families to spend an entire day. The Ju Ming Museum is open to the public from May to October for lawn activities; from November to April, the grass is under maintenance and should not be trampled.
