Chimei Museum

Founder of the Chi Mei Group, Mr. Wen-Long Shi, was very fond of his childhood visits to a local museum that he was inspired to build a museum for everyone to enjoy. The museum was first established and housed in the administration building of the Chi Mei Corporation in 1992, relocated to the Tainan Metropolitan Park in 2014, and reopened in 2015. The museum is here so that people of all ages and social backgrounds can have easy access to Western culture and arts without having to travel abroad. The collection at CHIMEI Museum consists mainly of Western art, musical instruments, arms and armour, animal taxidermy and fossils, exhibiting approximately 4000 items, which is about one-third of the complete CHIMEI collection. Founder Shi expressed that, “Good works of art are not to be kept just for oneself to enjoy, but to be shared with the public; and

The walk from the parking lot to the museum is lovely. A fountain is very similar to those seen at Versailles and statues lining the bridge not unlike those of Prague. In fact the museum could have been relocated from Europe. We entered the main building and proceeded through a hall of beautiful large and small sculptures/statues - many reminiscent of those seen in Greece along with busts of famous European composers. These are marvelous works of art. This private collection has areas dedicated to different types of exhibitions. Rooms devoted to paintings where there are a few places to sit in order to appreciate the art. Rooms of armor and weapons are interesting in the progression of sophistication as wars became more complex. Natural history and fossils has a super collection of small and huge stuffed animals as well as information of those extinct, Musical instruments of every imaginable kind are fun to see and in an adjoining room we wandered between images of people playing different instruments who are then united to play as the full orchestra - again via projected screens. Times for the concerts are posted and can get quite crowded so if you want to find a place to sit, get to that room well before the concert starts. There were other displays that we never got to. A door on the main floor leads to a small garden where you may purchase food and drink.

The treasures in the museum are all worth viewing ,many relating to the history of the Chinese people from Taiwan and Mainland China. One of the big attraction is the famous jade carving of a head of bok choy. I recommend visiting this museum on a weekday. I happened to visit on a Sunday, and it was packed with people.

We enjoyed the humor of the screen and projector showing "Pirates of the Caribbean" in English to anyone who wanted to pause in the parking area in front of the temple. People were sitting on their scooters and on small plastic chairs. I was seriously tempted to join them but I have seen this move so many times.

We had the benefit of a local providing additional perspective and translating. Worth visiting, but have a someone with language skills accompany you for an optimal experience.
