Best Chinese Museum is where?
Taipei has the best collection of Imperial Chinese Art, because the Nationalists who escaped to Taiwan took the best with them. Now Taiwan and Chinese are talking of sharing some of the Imperial art collection that was split in 1949. What makes this even more interesting is the opposition party in Taiwan, DPP or Green party, has been working on building a Taiwanese identity. So how does the National Palace Museum, Taipei work with a government that is pushing a Taiwanese identity. The current government is not pushing the Taiwanese identity as much. Taiwan politics is fascinating to watch from a distance.
