Over a
hundred years ago, the Yingge ceramic industry was born out of this fertile
land, enhancing the local Taiwanese culture with boundless vitality. The
pioneers, bursting with creativity and determined, strove to make this town a
prosperous centre of ceramics.
As the
first modern ceramics museum in the nation, it upholds the never-extinguishing
fire of the Yingge’s kilns. It displays the masterpieces created by kilns, clay
and glaze, with the hope that the beauty of Taiwan ceramics will be renowned
worldwide.
Constructed
with bare concrete, a steel frame and glass panes, the architecture of the
Ceramics Museum is designed to juxtapose the ethereal and the substantial,
imparting the simple steel frame, the design of high ceilings and clean
colours, and the huge glass panes that let in natural sunlight, all these
demonstrate various effects of light transmission in the expansive interior
space of the museum.
The museum is, then, both a platform for the limitless
possibilities of art and a tourist icon of Yingge ceramics. It provides spaces for exhibitions, museum of ceramic history
introductions, ceramic teaching, as well as “soil” experience area for
children.
