3/19/2025 Art & Culture: 30th Anniversary Exhibition of the CHING WAN SOCIETY’S Exhibition at NMOH

To celebrate its 70th anniversary, the NHM has once again collaborated with Taiwan’s most prestigious collectors’ society, “CHING WAN,” to showcase an extraordinary exhibition titled “HIDDEN GEMS,” featuring artworks, most of which are valued at over a billion dollars.

Thanks to our Chair, Susan, we were warmly greeted by NHM’s newly inaugurated Director, Mr. Hung Shih-Yu, and Senior Researcher Mr. Audi Chen. Their presence undoubtedly made the museum’s docent-guided tour a wonderful experience.

Despite earlier discussions and efforts to simplify the menu options for a more efficient dining experience at the museum restaurant, the outcome fell short of expectations. We sincerely thank our members for their patience and understanding.

我們在「國立歷史博物館」七十週年慶隆重推出的「清翫雅集卅周年慶收藏展-藏珍」結束前,在3月19日春寒料峭的天候中,欣賞了這檔「億來億去」的難得大展。

謝謝「清翫雅集」資深秘書協助,讓我們有幸與新任史博洪世佑館長與本展覽研究員陳勇成先生合照,所安排的導覽自然皆是一時之選。

四樓「荷悅餐廳」雖然在座位給予不少協助,但是上餐速度與流程仍差強人意。在此,也感謝姐妹們的體諒。

09/20/2024 Art & Culture: Fubon Art Museum

9月20日在館方安排下,我們參觀了「富邦美術館」開館大展-「真實本色:羅丹與印象派時代」百件作品;以及來自荷蘭「庫勒穆勒美術館」25幅真跡畫作的「梵谷:尋光之路」重磅雙展。

「富邦美術館」在曾獲義大利「普立茲克建築大獎」的「Renzo Piano Building Workshop」設計規劃下,花費十年時間落成,佔地三千坪,美術館本身就讓人充滿期待。

觀展尾聲之前,本組負責人蘇怡姐臨時起意,邀請大家到附近的「欣葉」台菜用餐。午餐在杯觥交錯的歡愉氣氛中結束。當日活動照片,請看下面連結:

On September 20, with the assistance of the Museum personnel; we visited the grand opening exhibition of “True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism”, featuring 100 works from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. And also the impressive exhibition of “Van Gogh: Journey of Light”, which showcased 25 original paintings from the “Kröller-Müller Museum” in the Netherlands.

The “Fubon Art Museum,” designed by the renowned “Renzo Piano Building Workshop,” winners of the Italian “Pritzker Architecture Prize,” took ten years to complete. The museum itself is something to be highly anticipated.

Before the end of the exhibition tour, our Art & Culture Interest Group leader, Susan invited everyone to dine at the nearby “Shin Yeh” Taiwanese restaurant. The triple-treat event concluded in a joyful atmosphere.

我們終於在台南「奇美博物館」的「從拉斐爾到梵谷-英國國家藝廊珍藏展」展期結束前,觀賞到了這National Gallery慶祝兩百年館慶的大展。這項展覽從去年初,在亞洲上海、首爾、香港和最後的台南四大城市,各地都分別吸引了近四十萬民眾前往朝聖。

感謝維文姐及蘇怡姐鼎力協助,在網路票全部售罄的情況下,仍能安排我們觀畫。活動當天午餐時間,奇美博物館前副館長暨外交部部長夫人廖婉如女士特地前來,跟我們分享「奇美博物館」的歷史故事—無疑乃此次活動最大的驚喜與亮點!

謝謝大家的參與,讓我們又共享一次難忘的藝術饗宴。

We were truly fortunate to visit the CHIMEI Museum in Tainan just before the “From Raphael to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London” exhibition concluded. This international showcase, celebrating the National Gallery’s 200th anniversary, has drawn 400,000 visitors in each of four major Asian cities—Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong, and finally, Tainan—since its debut early last year.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Vivienne and Susan for their unwavering support, which enabled us to attend this special exhibition despite the tickets being completely sold out online. We are also deeply grateful to former Vice President, Liao Wan-ru, of the CHIMEI Museum and wife of the Minister of MOFA for graciously joining us during lunch and sharing the rich history of the CHIMEI Museum. Her presence was undoubtedly the highlight of the day.

Thank you all for your participation, making this yet another truly enriching artistic experience.
