CHI PO-LIN MUSEUM

The one and only aerial image base.
Let the island’s stories continue on and on.

Continue the beauty of Taiwan.
Realize environmental education.

“The works that Chi Po-lin spent twenty-five years and risked his life to make must be seen and continue to move the hearts of people living on this land.” It is such a belief that propels the Chi Po-lin Foundation and moves 8,052 contributors to generously support the establishment of the Foundation. Therefore, on the Earth Day (April 22) of 2019, the highly anticipated Chi Po-lin Museum, housed by the rear building of Douglas Lapraik & Co., was inaugurated.

Bringing together more then 600,000 invaluable image works by Director Chi, the Chi Po-lin Museum tells the stories about the land of Taiwan through thematic and curatorial exhibitions, while collaborating with Taiwanese and foreign image creators, who concentrate on ecological and environmental subjects. Through exchanges and dialogues, we have consistently conveyed and spread the true meaning of environmental friendliness and care for life. By doing so, the Chi Po-lin Museum has become an image base and dream-building platform of “the stories of Taiwan.”

The Chi Po-lin Museum cordially invites all to visit us on the Tamsui Old Street to re-connect with Taiwan through the director’s aerial view and listen to every heart-touching story behind every work.

CURRENT EXHIBITION

FOREST BOND

Listening to the Trees Whispering, Composing the Forest Song.

The forest,
a vessel of time’s passage,
layers light, shadow, and memory,
with each growth ring inscribed with the echoes of years past.

Beneath the trees,
roots extend and whisper,
while above, gentle light filters through the veins of trembling leaves.

Above the canopy,
branches brush against one another,
a fleeting dialogue carried by the wind, revealing the forest spirits’ inquiries.

The whispers within the roots inscribe their unique history,
holding the imprints of nature’s cycles and human touch,
a call for humility once more.

We — coexist in the forest.

"FOREST BOND" trailer|Theme

Forests,
the greatest vessels that bear witness to the passage of generations.
From the microorganisms deep within the soil,
to the epiphytes that grace the canopy above,
they write the way of survival that has endured for billions of years,
and cradle the birth and decay of all things living.

Light and shadow, ever rise and fall,
they etch humanity’s reverence for eternity.

The island of Taiwan, a sanctuary of trees,
where all life thrives, eternal in harmony.
