西方神話與傳說─羅浮宮珍藏展2012-01-20 ~ 2012-05-14

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:24:20 +0800

睽違八年再度來台

「傳承自希臘羅馬的神話不僅是有點可怕的、或迷人的、高潮迭起的故事全集，也是解釋人間世界、大自然與宇宙星辰運作的一種方式，神話形塑了所有的西方思想，且滲透深入我們的語言。這就是為什麼我們認為應該和亞洲觀眾一起分享這些希臘羅馬神話暨文學的精彩故事，其中一些美麗的故事提供我們的詩人、雕刻家、畫家和音樂家豐富的創作養分，尤其從十七世紀起重新研究法國古文學之際，神話更是藝術家汲取靈感的重要泉源。」

---法國羅浮宮博物館館長 Henri Loyrette 2011.10

本展由法國羅浮宮博物館、國立故宮博物院、時藝多媒體共同策劃，展出西方藝術家以古希臘神話為主題，不斷重覆地繪製、創作所展現的想像力。本展共計展出100組件，主要來自法國羅浮宮博物館（Musée du Louvre) ，及圖爾美術館（Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours）、迪戎美術館（Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon）、阿哈斯美術館（Arras, musée des Beaux-Arts）、安格爾美術館（Musée Ingres, Montauban）、安德烈‧迪利芎藝術暨工業博物館Roubaix, La Piscine - Musée d’art et d’industrie André Diligent）、凡爾賽宮及特里亞儂宮國立博物館（Musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon）等七家博物館之珍藏。展件包含古希臘時期的陶器、龐貝古城的溼壁畫，到十六至十九世紀如布雪（François BOUCHER）、大衛（Jacques-Louis DAVID）、安格爾（Jean-Auguste-Dominique INGRES）、卡諾瓦（Antonio CANOVA）等大師的繪畫、雕塑等藝術珍品。

國立故宮博物院「得佳趣－乾隆皇帝的陶瓷品味」特展 2011-11-01 ~ 2012-09-30

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:58:10 +0800

「得佳趣」為乾隆皇帝鑑賞璽印，其印文的意涵為從鑑賞文物中感受美好的視覺經驗與樂趣。

清高宗乾隆皇帝生於1711年、卒於1799年，在位六十年（1736-1795）。退位之後又當了三年的太上皇帝，仍然掌握政權。是長壽且在位時間長的皇帝，因此有十八世紀皇帝的稱號。在位時，曾經親自考訂文物，投入大量人力、物力，建置清宮典藏；故也有人把他看成是首席博物館館員。特別是分別收藏於國立故宮博物院、北京故宮博物院和瀋陽故宮、熱河行宮，與南京博物院中的傳世藏品，因多數皆可追溯出乾隆皇帝親手典藏的痕跡，而明顯地反映出他鑑賞文物的經過。

這個展覽就是透過有跡可循的鑑賞印記，展出本院典藏鐫刻乾隆御製詩的陶瓷，和能與陶瓷圖冊對照的作品。藉由乾隆皇帝御覽陶瓷的軌跡，瞭解他的鑑賞品味。整個展覽以乾隆皇帝的陶瓷鑑賞觀做為主軸，並且依照他御覽之際所規範出的兩種不同整理方式，將展覽分成兩個單元。第一單元「以詩為記」，主要展出本院所藏刻詩陶瓷；第二單元「再現品味」，展出陶瓷圖冊中所畫的瓷器。

「以詩為記」單元中，因御製詩旨在傳達乾隆皇帝對陶瓷的歷史知識、鑑賞觀，以及寓意其中的處世與為君之道。這些他所觀察到的表象特徵與他所理解的窯口，都體現出他對於不同屬性陶瓷的觀感。以今天的陶瓷史視野來看，經過乾隆皇帝御覽鑑賞刻有御製詩的陶瓷，其窯口涵蓋定窯、汝窯、官窯、哥窯、鈞窯和明朝宣德官窯等製品，明顯流露出他降旨鐫刻御製詩，以及對於名窯作品的選擇，深受晚明陶瓷鑑賞觀所影響。

同時也因詩中屬意的多為北宋汝窯、南宋官窯和南宋官窯系列作品，故詩中有對於宋朝宮廷用瓷的歌詠，有南北政權嬗遞的自我警惕與反省思維，也有一再強調鑑賞陶瓷決非玩物喪志；而乾隆皇帝探索官窯脈絡的過程中，除了將北宋汝窯當作理想的官窯典範外，也一路上溯至舜做陶於河濱的故事，意圖透過河濱遺範連結以德治理天下的情操，表達出鑑賞陶瓷，實有效法聖人楷模的深遠意義。

展覽第二單元「再現品味」，因清宮留存的陶瓷圖冊，是乾隆皇帝降旨繪製，故也能視為鑑賞記號，印證畫中瓷器經過乾隆皇帝御覽觀看，以及鑑賞的看法。

總之，藉由具體的鑑賞印記，可以瞭解乾隆皇帝把陶瓷當作宣傳個人藝術品味和施政理念的媒介，其最大目的應該是想要藉此粉飾搜求藏品的舉動，以建立個人的聖王形象。

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:20:42 +0800

交通部觀光局日月潭風景區管理處新聞稿

日月潭國家風景區管理處，繼今年7月推出「車埕好行」及「日月全行」二款新套票，與日月潭299元、599元、899元旅遊套票併稱「日月潭旅遊五大套餐」其功能互異，舊套票優惠至今年年底。明（101）年將全新推出330元、660元、990元水陸空旅遊套票，套票內容新增「台中-日月潭來回分段車票」、「水社-向山單程車票」等票券與「向山美利達自行車」、「台灣惠蓀咖啡向山店」現煮咖啡優惠。配合10月份剛通車的「日月潭-阿里山線」，交通部觀光局新推出「日月潭-阿里山」3日交通聯票，循著套票就能輕鬆自由的將日月潭、信義（東埔）及阿里山玩透透。

日管處指出，日月潭遊客數逐年增加，潭區以外的旅遊圈需求也不斷擴大，自10月10日「日月潭-阿里山線」開通行駛，遊客搭乘本線除沿途欣賞塔塔加及夫妻樹等美景之外，還可逛逛信義鄉農會梅子夢工廠、轉進東埔溫泉地區體驗泡湯之樂，以及進入阿里山國家森林遊樂區享受芬多精森林浴。

為讓遊客能體驗各種不同交通工具的便利和沿途美景，交通部觀光局與日管處結合日月潭及阿里山公車業者，並與信義鄉農會、東埔溫泉產業及阿里山國家森林遊樂區等單位再推出「日月潭-阿里山」3日交通聯票。聯票可搭乘「台灣好行-日月潭線」、「日月潭-阿里山線」、「台灣好行-阿里山線」等3種接駁車，還可搭乘「日月潭-東埔」或「水里-東埔」順遊東埔住宿泡湯，另享有信義鄉農會、東埔溫泉產業及阿里山國家森林遊樂區門票等一共8種超值優惠（詳見下表一），一票在手飽覽大日月潭、信義與阿里山地區等不同風貌，這是一種「日月潭-阿里山」串連遊程全新路線的玩法，遊客可從台中(台灣好行)日月潭(日月潭-阿里山接駁公車)阿里山(台灣好行阿里山線)嘉義高鐵站，或反過來玩也會通喔，不過，「日月潭-阿里山線」接駁公車因受限中型車輛、路況及距離過長等因素，每日有搭乘人數上限，請遊客於搭乘前先行詢問服務人員 049-2983589 。

「日月潭-阿里山」3日交通聯票自即日起發行，凡前500名購買套票者加贈送神秘禮乙份(至日月潭水社遊客中心或阿里山觸口遊客中心憑券兌換，送完為止)。

至於日月潭101年1月起全新發行的330元、660元、990元水陸空旅遊套票，以660套票為例，內容除了原有的日月潭纜車券、環湖公車1日券、交通船單趟票、單車及電動車租車優惠外，另外新增「台中-日月潭來回分段車票」、「水社-向山單程車票」等票券與「向山美利達自行車」、「台灣惠蓀咖啡向山店」現煮咖啡等優惠，原價總值1,141元，套票只賣660元（約享5.8折優惠）；另外330元、990元套票則享5折及 5.9折優惠，比舊套票更優惠（詳見下表二），全新套票將帶給遊客更便利更優惠的多元樂趣。

為了讓遊客更方便購買，「台灣好行-日月潭線」與7-ELEVEN合作，於ibon便利生活站可以直接購買日月潭660套票，或以9折優惠購得台灣高鐵及「台灣好行-日月潭線」來回聯票，購票詳情洽清境旅行社 049-2983589 或上日月潭國家風景區管理處網站查詢。
