Disappointing

We were disappointed by the National Palace, after being told by everyone and everything that it is a "must see." For me and my wife, who are not huge art fans, it was not that interesting. I was hoping to learn more about the history of China and Taiwan, but the museum is just an endless stream of art.

Don't get me wrong, I know that it's an amazing collection, and that there is a lot of history to be learned through the art. But for us, it was disappointing.

The collection is said to be rotated every 3 months with some items on display all the time -20 year cycle to see everything. -I believe a jade sphere has seven independently turnable sphers inside- amazing workmanship and artistry
