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.

Black Bridge Sausage Museum

Reviewed By Mirithe3

But also my first sausage museum. Went there out of sarcasm but was positively surprised. Nice but small exhibition about Taiwans past from a consumer perspective. Some information about sausages, but not too much. Free entry, free samples and a lot of nice selfie spots (a mobile sausage seller's bike, sausage stalls, sausage producing kitchen and Taiwanese fantasy about how European shop windows may look like). The exhibition and the museum shop are also suitable for vegetarians, but the free samples and the restaurant aren't
