At the conclusion of 2025, the National Palace Museum of Taipei celebrated its centennial with displays highlighting a hundred years of collection, preservation, exhibition, and education. This landmark exhibition series, “Enduring Legacy,” is recognized globally as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view more than a hundred masterpieces: exceptional treasures and artworks housed in this prestigious museum’s collection. Many of the objects have never been on public display, and others have appeared only rarely due to conservation restrictions.

In this presentation, four graduate students from the Department of History of Art will share their experiences visiting the museum. Addressing the artworks and the exhibits, the presenters will discuss their impressions and the potential trajectories of another century of museology.
