In Taiwan me and my family, we came in a bus and went up by elevator in to the Taiwan National Museum. We bought our tickets, grabbed a audio guide, stamped our hands and got in the museum.
This is what it looked like outside.
Below are the four best art from china in my opinion.
The Taiwan National museum was famous for the jadeite cabbage. The cabbage was a statue wrapped in jadeite. If you look closely you might see the small little jadeite grasshopper on the leaves.
Mmmmmm pork.....rock? This delicious looking piece of rock was found by the sculptor. He added a little bit of texture and BOOM...a delicious piece of pork-rock.
This ivory sphere was made from one elephant tusk. It has 24 layers with designs and all 24 spheres can independently spin. This was called Demon Art since it was almost impossible to be made by human hands.
The Pit carving is my favorite piece. It is an olive seed carved into a boat. On the boat it has 8 people. They are inside. There is a table with food, plates and utensils. The windows and doors can open and close. You can see the expressions of the people in the boat. There are 300 characters on the bottom from the artist.
Can you see why this is my favorite ?
Nice close up pics, looks so real and yummy!
