A modern and well designed ceramics-themed museum. The museum displays the techniques used for pottery, the history of ceramics, and fine ceramics used in computers, telephones, and other high-techs. The contents of the exhibitions cover a wide range of topics, including cultures, arts and sciences. There are also collections of ceramic artworks from Taiwan and other countries. The architecture of the Museum itself is a masterpiece. A very nice museum, suitable for all ages.

The museum is Ju Ming’s largest artwork to date. He personally designed the architecture, landscapes, wirings and plumbing. Not only did he purchase the property to build the museum, but he also donated over 2000 pieces of his own works and personal collection to the museum for the public to view. Starting from the ground up, it took Ju Ming 12 years to finish the construction work and he had turned a vacant land into a sculpture park. The museum officially opened in 1999, planting

Being a Tai Chi practitioner, my friends brought me to this museum which is devoted to the work of a Taiwanese artist. The place is mainly about sculpture, but there are also some other exhibits (photo, modern art installations). The museum is established in a huge park, with many monumental sculpture and installations. The road to the place is lovely, especially if you ride a motorbike: a small and sinuous mountain road in a beautiful surrounding.

This museum in New Taipei City is strongly recommended as a counter-balance to the buzz of modern Taipei, the wonders of the National Palace Museum and the lovely parks, to give you an idea of the brutal nature of Taiwan’s past and how far things have changed since the end the “White Terror” – the period of martial law which ended as recently as 1987. The Museum is in what used to be a detention centre. The guided or audio tours take you to the rooms where political detainees were tried; and you can see just how prisoners were kept and how they were forced to live. The displays are excellent, and you get a vivid sense of the hardships suffered by so many Taiwanese (and non-Taiwanese nationals) who for some reason were suspected by the ruling regime. If you are as lucky as I was, you may even get to talk to a former detainee; they can explain vividly the hardships and sense of hopelessness felt by so many inmates. (If you want some context before you visit but find history books heavy going, you might read Green Island by Shawna Yang Ryan, a story of a family whose father was detained. Green Island housed another detention centre, which you can also visit.)

水湳洞十三層遺址是臺灣鍊銅史不可磨滅的記憶，礦山遺址有顯著的普世價值，礦山停採後其機能雖已消失，但是鄰近礦山聚落的機能仍持續運作，若經過適當整理與保存，一如日本的石見銀山為東瀛首位以「產業遺產」登錄世界文化遺產的地區，水金九地區的礦業遺跡非常符合聯合國科教文組織對世界文化遺產的期待，尤其是水湳洞地區具有陰陽海、水湳洞選鍊廠、廢煙道及黃金瀑布等世界級的四大奇景，所表現出來的環境特色既富有時代意義又具有人文情懷的空間，以及富涵與自然景觀相融合的水岸與山景，結合水岸與山景為環境地景的特色。 展演藝廊為臺電閒置舊禮堂為挑高式一層樓紅磚建築物改建，並規劃為「展演藝廊」之用。完成整修的「展演藝廊」未來將提供定期開放藝術展覽，現由『山城美館』藝術家團隊的進駐，經常舉辦藝術家聯展、茶席體驗、藝術家創作空間、不一鼓表演練習空間等用途。

The Wulai Forestry Life Museum, located next to the bus ticket office, is a museum opened by the Forestry Bureau after five years of preparation. The museum displays in detail the development of forestry around Wulai. If you’re not familiar with this essential part of the historical origins of Wulai logging tramways and forestry development, this is the place to go. Besides introducing the local forestry culture through fun exhibition panels, the museum also holds woodcraft DIY workshops from time to time, which is a fun course which adults and children like very much!
