The north courtyard of the National Palace Museum in Taipei is being renovated in a "half-half-construction" way

　　China News Service, May 27. According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", the director of the Taipei Palace Museum, Wu Micha, went to the Education Committee of the Legislative Body on the 26th to report on the progress of the implementation of the new Palace Museum plan.

He said that the increase in the price of raw materials and the lack of labor have led to frequent bid-offs, and the plan for the new Palace Museum has been approved by the administrative authority to be postponed until 2026.

In order to keep it open during the renovation, the expansion plan of the northern campus of the National Palace Museum in Taipei will be divided into three phases, in a "semi-semi-construction" method. After the new exhibition area is completed and opened, the old exhibition area will be closed.

　　The high-profile expansion of the Taipei National Palace Museum's North Yard has been completed.

The second phase, which started this year, includes the conversion of the library and documentation building into an exhibition hall, and the renovation of the second administrative building and the research building, as well as the construction of the new administrative building and the new library.

The third stage is to handle the renovation of the main hall of the historic building.

　　As for the second hall of the South Courtyard, the main building has completed the detailed design, but it has been marked twice.

Wu Micha said that after the “Construction and Construction Administration” held a review meeting on the failure of the bid, the announcement was made online again on the 20th, and the bid opening is scheduled to be opened on June 21st.

　　The North Court of the National Palace Museum in Taipei is often criticized for its lack of display space, which affects the display rate of cultural relics.

Wu Micha said that after the completion of the new Forbidden City plan, the northern courtyard will increase by 2,178 square meters, and the southern courtyard will increase by 4,608 square meters, which can increase the display rate.
