"For many in Taiwan, spending days wandering the halls of the British Museum in London, enjoying exhibits from around the world while getting a dose of global culture strong enough to last a lifetime, was a dream beyond their reach. Time constraints and the daunting reality of having to fly nearly 10,000 kilometers have always presented seemingly insurmountable barriers, thwarting cultural aspirations, no matter how strong.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the National Palace Museum and the British Museum, locals can now experience a partial exhibition of the European museum's extensive collections showcasing the different facets of the evolution of human civilization. The exhibition, titled "Treasures of the World's Cultures: The British Museum After 250 Years," runs from Feb. 4 to May 27 and is part of a series of events staged to create a more culturally festive atmosphere before the launch of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
Divided into 13 sections--including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Europe, Asia, the Islamic World, Africa, Oceania and the Americas--the exhibition showcases works of sculpture and painting, as well as historical and cultural artifacts in a wide range of materials, such as precious objects, glass, gold, silver, bronze, stone, wood, and ceramic from the Paleolithic Age up to the 20th century. Of the 271 historical artifacts valued at over US$150 million on display, 15 percent will be making their first appearance in Asia."
