Here's an idea for summer: How about spending a day away from the heat at Taichung Children's Art Museum? This "museum" is a place that allows the younger generation to enjoy art and let their imaginations and creativity run wild. From the ticketing window, which is a huge, red school bus, to the many exhibition areas in the museum, this place is a dream for kids. The Oblique Angle Alley on the second floor lets kids play shop with their friends. Apart from some digital games, the third floor offers a cool "film studio" where children can take photos of their own and see them displayed on a big screen on the wall. The Rhythm Room stars the famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. At The Blue Danube, children can create their own sounds and rhythms through different musical instruments. Finally, kids who like to explore can visit the Starry Arena on the basement level. Here, they can choose from about 30 different Chinese and Western styles of clothing and join the dolls on stage for a fun acting experience. --By Lishea Chen, translated by Ann Lee
