Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum
The Southern Branch Museum, originally scheduled for completion in 2008, was later postponed as a result of contractual disputes as well as the Typhoon Morakot, which created a flooding that measured 10.3 meters tall in the foundation. On Oct. 22, 2010, the project revision plan was completed and the building of the Southern Branch Museum was reinitiated. Regarding the construction of the Southern Branch Museum (i.e., the hardware component), related operations have been commissioned to the Construction and Planning Agency; while the curating of exhibitions (i.e., the software component) will be organized by the Southern Branch Museum. The Southern Branch Museum will feature main exhibitions that display artifacts from NPM's rich collection of artifacts while supplementing them with international loan exhibitions.
