The exhibition, A Century of the Humanities in Taiwan, was a joint venture between the National Museum of History and the National Science Council. As a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the R.O.C., the exhibition juxtaposed Taiwan's history over the last hundred years with important institutions, figures, and incidents. The focus of the exhibition was upon eight fields of study in the humanities: Chinese literature, foreign literature, history, philosophy, art, linguistics, anthropology, and religion. It aimed to demonstrate how study of the humanities in Taiwan inherited different traditions, established local innovations, and won international acclaim. This paper examines this exhibition through its narrative and design, calculates the effect and influence, and articulates how it strove to achieve the cultural objective of“bringing the world to Taiwan and taking Taiwan to the world.”
