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. Everyone is so focused on everything looking perfect and the curator's voice only." This may be true. I didn't see a single comment book on my trip.
