NPM Southern Branch Guide

When you walk into an exhibition, you can appreciate the beauty of the objects on display with your eyes, or experience the ambience of the exhibition areas. Have you ever, though, experienced the beauty of objects relying on your sense of hearing alone? In the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum we have some truly captivating storytellers, who leave no stone unturned and provide you with all you need to know about the objects on display. The NPMSB Guide App looks at almost 100 specially selected pieces and adopts an immersive approach to investigate their very origins, and to help you “hear” where they came from and discover their beauty. So, are you ready to embark on this journey of exploration of Asian art and culture?
