  Mr. Chen's Micro-carving Museum ¢w the old type
¡@¡@Mr. Chen Says ¡§All artists have their ideals¡¨. Living up his ideal, Mr. Chen used to exhibit his carving creations of move than 20 years on the second floor of his house. In 1997, he established ¡§Mr. Chen Feng-hsien's Micro-carving Museum¡¨.

¡@¡@In the preparation of the founding of a museum, he first had to counter his family's objections. Through repeated arguments, with the hearty devotion to and the point of passing on the rare craft of the micro-carving he finally convinced his family. Mr. Chen personally ironed out the scheme of the museum's interior designs and displaying arrangements and directed the decoration company to do the job. It took three years for Mr. Chen to see the completion of the museum.


¡@¡@At the early days of the opening of the museum, there were about 40 pieces of exhibits, including bamboo-carving, wood-carving, stone-carving, cotton, needle, and satin ribbon flowers. With Mr. Chen's continued creations, the exhibits increased fast to the extent that the museum could not hold. In the year 2004, the museum made its first expansion.

¡@¡@Among all the museum exhibits, Mr. Chen's most favorable one is a mini-book of 300 Tang Dynasty Verses. It has been the most time-consuming job. Mini-resin-sculptures comprise vivid daily-life items and they are most welcomed at outside show. The museum now has more than 90 pieces of exhibits.

¡@¡@
¡@¡@ Mr. Chen is considering a second-phase expansion of the museum by using the land in the rear of his residence. It would include the micro-carving and the brick-carving, the two items of extraordinary craft of Chen. Outside of the Museum building there worked be artistic brick creations that have drawn appreciation from both old and young visitors.

¡@¡@The glorious achievements of Mr. Chen Feng-hsien's Micro-carving Museum are resulted from the accumulated painstaking efforts of the past twenty years. Aside from his family's support, he has received acknowledgement of the media and the general public. To realize his long-cherished ideal and to share the pleasure in his creations and the traditional artistic craft, Mr. Chen has courageously indulbed himself in the promotion of micro-carving and brick-carving. We trust that his painstaking efforts will surely have a great return.
