The West in the East
The Chi Mei Museum in Tainan, Taiwan is built by a wealthy local business man who's childhood dream was to create an art museum for the masses. Here you can travel to USA, France and Greece without leaving Taiwan soil.
When I first heard about the museum, I thought how weird it is to build a fountain based on the Versailles in France, erect 12 Greek gods and goddess statues on a bridge and build a museum that looks like the White House in the USA.
Then I thought, not everyone has the luxury to visit these countries. If one were to build a Chinese temple or a Japanese garden in London or New York, it would probably be very popular with the locals. So why not bring the west to Taiwan? Let me know what you think.
台南的奇美博物館由台灣商人許文龍創立。建一所博物館是他從少的心願,終於在 2015實現。最初我覺得奇美的外表怪怪的。幹嘛把法國凡爾賽宮噴泉,希臘神像,和美國白宮搬到台灣呢? 後來心想一層,不是每個人都有機會到外邊走走。 外國有不少亞洲式建築,日式花園等等,都非常受當地人歡迎。那麼為何不能把西方建築搬到台灣? 你又怎樣看呢?
