National palace museum


Yesterday I visited the National Palace museum. This museum located in the heart of Taiwan is said to hold the world's finest collection of chinese art. It has four floors filled with assortments of paintings, ceramics,metal and jade artifacts. My highlight was to see the works of Guiseppe Castiglione(1688 -1766) .He was an italian painter in China during the Ching dynasty. One work that caught my eye is "One hundred steed".It is a 7m long scroll painting of 100 horses, a definate must see.Here is the stamp version.


I have been chosen to play Santa in a school play and looking forward to do some acting :)

Dis nogsteeds so lekker om van al jou avonture te lees. Wanneer kom jy weer bietjie oë wys, ons verlang na jou en brand om al die stories te hoor

Geniet die res van die week
