The Future The vision behind the establishment of the Chi Mei Culture Foundation by Mr. Wen-Long Shi was to promote “appreciable music and appreciable art”. With this principle in mind, the Museum's collections of paintings and sculptures are mainly realist art. Mr. Shi believes that having the opportunity to enjoy beautiful objects is the most important foundation for art education; once this foundation has been laid, people can undertake their own creative activity in the pursuit of happiness. The Chi Mei Museum was built for the general public, the goal of its future operation is relatively simple: It will be the kind of museum the general public wants it to be, and will always be a museum for the people.
