Virtual Tour
The more I go back to the National Museum site, the more I discover! It is kind of confusing for me to navigate the site- I never know how I got where I am- but if I keep clicking, I am rewarded with another treasure... if you like this kind of thing, don't give up! Go to the site and keep digging- and let me know what you find, too! This is what I found on my latest visit:
The National Palace Museum houses over 8,000 years of Chinese art! You can take a virtual tour of the museum, which is like taking a virtual survey of Chinese history too. The tour is organized according to dynasty, which is listed across the top of the image. Be sure to click on Selections under the panorama view to see detailed close-ups of several objects from each time period.
