Iâll be heading to MOCA today. With the start of omicron, I suppose we should enjoy museums while we can!

Ohhh following! I love museums.
Earlier today, I enjoyed visiting the MOCA special exhibit entitled âWhen Islands Dream.â Itâs focused entirely on the outlying islands of Matsu (Beigan and Nangan). A mix of video installations, some photos, and chance to write out (and post) your dreams too. Cost to enter this special exhibit? Itâs free.

For this exhibit, they might considering reaching out to the Yen family in Taichung (recently involved in the by-election) to see if they can borrow his tiger costume for this timely show:

So I just finished touring the Museum of Failure mentioned in the first post. It was one of the most interesting and informative exhibits Iâve ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks @tango42 for letting us know about it.

âThe Stories of Our Periodsâ will run from Aug. 26 to Sept. 19 at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei.
âa free exhibition in Taipei is challenging people to shed the shame of menstruationâ
This looks pretty cool.

Looking for things to check out in Taipei? One possibility is the annual Historical Photo Exhibition put together by the Taipei Public Library, on display now until Wedesday March 13 at Shuxin Hall (æščćżæ通) close to Ximen MRT Station (address: 174-2, Section 1, Zhonghua Road). Here are some photos which are reportedly on display. This looks pretty cool!

The Birth of Modernist Art Movement in Taiwan @ National History Museum Taipei (botanical gardens).
I thought this was very good. I went mainly out of historical interest but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the work. Iâm planning a second visit. Not crowded even on a weekend. In the old planetarium building near the Museum. Signs are obvious.

Good tip! An added bonus would be a walk in the botanical garden. After all these years here, I still think that is Taipei City properâs best park (Yangmingshan is of course brilliant too in another world . . . ).

Random small ones in the south
The sex museum. More like a roadside weirdo building.
Tsingtao brewery has a small museum about their brewery. Better than the usual ttl ones, it upsets me to admit.
Green Island jail ones are always frightening.
Anping ficus house in Tainan sometimes has cool ones. Worth a visit regardless of exhibitions.
Thatâs now part of the National Human Rights Museum. Thereâs no admission charge. In my humble opinion, everyone in Taiwan should see this.

Absolutely. It makes me a little sad when I go with a certain age group here and they totally miss the mark and say the prisoners were in jail for corruption⊠i hope they could somehow make a few more sign posts dumbed down for the old and daft
