We the People Exhibition Design

  • Yvette Lai
The year 2011 marked the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the ROC. Drawing on its collection and the memories and emotions of the people, the National Museum of History in Taipei held this special exhibition. Through the themes of “roots,” “routes,” “shared land,” and “memory,” a viewer can experience and perceive the life and times of the people of this land. The people have undergone war, migration, turbulence, and integration; and history and culture, both inherited and created anew, produce the diversity of a people. The exhibition presented artifacts, images, and visual material. Its gallery design adopted the form of environmental theater to invoke the moving experience of common existence, common glory and a living awareness of history.
