Juming Museum 朱銘美術館

Over the weekend on our road trip we also went to visit the Juming Museum 朱銘美術館 which is set in a very beautiful location up in the hills the gallery site was about 25 acres so quite large for just the one artist Ju Ming who’s gallery it is.

Massive Bronzes sculpture.

The where only two to three pieces on show which I found interesting to look at among a lot of other stuff! I really like the parachute from these sculptures they looked very beautiful glittering in the sun light.


Very reflective, but not in these two photos.

I can only describe the art work as very Art Space if they went into mass production mode. I've added some photos below to give you an idea of the rest of the work on display.

With art work like this in the lobby entrance you know you’re in for a treat.


This was the artist Olympic collection, above.

There was quite a strong Military theme in his work, not really my thing, but quite popular with the Taiwanese fan base.

I think his Bronze sculptures sell for around 25-30K. Quite a lot, but if it’s your thing why not!

Salute.

The museum had also built a work shop for children to come on school trips and learn to paint and have fun which was a really nice idea. They also had a wall which you could paint on, slightly stuck for ideas I did a rather scary skill and cross bones.

Painitng away.

The team.

Chi.

The museum was definitely worth a visit as it’s in a very nice location up in the hills and you can get a lovely walk in with some great views of the surrounding valley too. But have lunch before you go as there is only one restaurant and it’s not very good.
