The museum at our doorstep — and the words to open its door.門口的博物館，與打開它大門的那幾句英文。
📍 Orientation · 全館導覽Just a few minutes from our classrooms stands one of the most important museums in Asia: the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, in Taibao City. While the original museum in Taipei is famous for Chinese treasures, the Southern Branch has a wider mission. It is an Asian Art and Culture Museum — a place that tells the story of the whole continent.
離我們教室只要幾分鐘，就矗立著亞洲最重要的博物館之一：位於太保市的「國立故宮博物院南部院區」。臺北的故宮以中國文物聞名，南院的使命卻更寬廣——它是一座「亞洲藝術文化博物館」，述說整個亞洲大陸的故事。
The museum opened in 2015. Its address — 888 Gugong Boulevard — sits beside the high-speed rail station and the seat of Chiayi County. For an international traveller stepping off the train, the Southern Branch is often their first impression of southern Taiwan. That is exactly why a docent — a trained guide who explains the artworks — matters so much.
南院於 2015 年開幕，地址「故宮大道 888 號」就在高鐵站與嘉義縣治旁邊。對一位剛下車的國際旅客來說，南院往往是他們對台灣南部的第一印象——這正是為什麼一位受過訓練、能解說作品的「導覽員（docent）」如此重要。
In this course you will become a young docent. You will not memorise everything; instead you will learn how to introduce one gallery, describe one object, and answer a visitor’s question — all in clear, friendly English. By the final lesson you will give a short tour of your own.
