Minister of Culture Cheng Li-chiun held a press conference on May 11 in Taipei to outline how Taiwan's museums plan to honor the spirit of International Museum Day, which is celebrated annually on May 18, by expanding public access.
Fifteen museums around Taiwan have joined forces to review their services and facilities and to develop a vision of the children's museum of the future, launching an online "virtual museum" that they hope will inspire offline visits.
To celebrate International Museum Day 2018, the Tainan-based National Museum of Taiwan Literature is holding a special exhibition featuring deaf culture to highlight equal cultural access and cultural participation for deaf individuals.
