When I was in Taiwan, I heard again and again from museum professionals: "We are very conservative in Taiwanese museums. This post is a photo essay focusing on an area at the Taiwan National Museum of Fine Arts called the Digiark. We're not doing innovative things with visitor participation or Web 2.0.
