This weekend, Meg and I paid a visit to the Museum of World Religions in Taipei. I'd heard that it was very new, very interactive, and that it would be great. It was very new, fairly interesting, and once again interpreted in both Chinese and English. The tours, however, were only in Chinese, so I wonder if they added more to the tour than what we weiguoren (foreigners) were able to absorb.
The aesthetic of the Museum was superb-- it really set a visitor up for reflection and a peaceful experience. The models of famous houses of worship were definitely the best, everything from Chartres to the Dome of the Rock and even a Frank Lloyd Wright meeting house.
And then there was the "step into the scene" Annunciation...

Maybe it wasn't tacky in person. But it looks like you might as well put a hole in so you can pose as Mary
