What to expect
＊Introduction to Qin Art Museum:
Continuing the original intention of Qinmei Puzhen Culture and Art Foundation to promote the art of life, Qin Art Museum CMP INSPIRATION takes embracing imagination as the basis of innovation, and opens up everyone's imagination through creative translation and cross-border integration. It is the first cultural venue designed for Taiwan by international architect Kengo Kuma. The architectural concept is based on "opening up the earth" and combines the design vocabulary of curly Tangcao to deepen the connection between Qin Art Museum and the neighborhood. The interior extends the rhythm and penetration of the building, creating an alternative mountain-shaped experience among the superimposed and interlaced spatial curves.
＊Introduction to the opening exhibition:
Many of nendo's works focus on the outline design of objects. By deliberately emphasizing or blurring lines, repositioning, amplifying or layering them, nendo challenges existing frameworks and opens up more possibilities for daily life. Among the works in this exhibition, "clustered clouds" present a translucent effect, creating three-dimensional objects with blurred outlines; while "un-printed material" focuses on outlines in daily life, in order to present the extraordinary in ordinary landscapes. "Rain bottle" visualizes the Japanese word "rain" through changes in different situations and time. "50 manga chairs" captures the movements and expressions in comics; while the work "softer than stone" imbues water and fabric with the properties of water and fabric, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction. The hand-drawn drawings displayed at the entrance of the exhibition illustrate the creation process of nendo's past and present works. The entire spatial image symbolizes the infinite extension of creative possibilities. Through these collectively presented works, this exhibition gives viewers a new perspective, adding more richness and excitement to daily life.

Reviews
The flow of the entire museum from the outdoors to the interior and the entire exhibition hall is great. The experience of viewing the exhibition is very good and not crowded. The architecture and curatorship complement each other perfectly. This is my favorite exhibition I have seen recently.
The Diligentia Museum of Art, designed by Japanese architectural master Kengo Kuma, is an attractive building with beautiful environment and green roof. The content on display is also very creative. A must-see attraction in Taichung.
I made an appointment for the morning time slot A and I didn't need to queue up to enter. I didn't meet other guests during the exhibition. The quality of the exhibition was very good. The exhibition hall was small and it was very comfortable to walk around without feeling tired.
The small and beautiful museum is full of surprises. If you appreciate it carefully, you will find how much effort the author put into designing the works.
The building of the Qin Art Museum itself has a unique green atmosphere in the urban area of Taichung. There are not many exhibits in the first exhibition, but they are all ingenious. It is recommended to watch the curatorial introduction video first
Nice exhibition, design based on daily life, simple and cute exhibition, the location is good in Qinmei, but the exhibition is relatively small and it was finished quickly, about an hour
The museum is not big and can be visited in about an hour. However, the exhibitions are very interesting, and there are many clever ideas in the overall environmental design.
It is very convenient to enter directly by scanning the QR code. Although the museum is not large, the exhibition is well planned. It is not only good for taking photos, but also has some interactivity.
It's very interesting. I suggest you read the description first and then visit the exhibition so that you can understand the mood the author wants to express more clearly. I went to visit the exhibition first, but I really didn't understand it very well. After listening to the description, I understood it.
The venue is not large, but it is carefully arranged. Combined with the ideas of Japanese designers, it allows us to see boundaries that are usually overlooked, which is very interesting.
