Ju Ming Museum
Spent a fascinating few hours at the Ju Ming Museum in Chinshan, on the north coast of Taiwan between Keelung and Damshui. Ju Ming is one of the few very serious sculptors working in Greater China.
The experience was a mixed one, not to say more. Ju Ming's latest works (like the Armed Forces series - three examples here...) seem to have succumbed to kitsch, admittedly always a trap for public sculptors, and the museum itself, and its gardens, is not well laid out, crammed with works.
Still, there are some fine pieces here, and it is a wonderful chance to see the artist's oeuvre.
