The Li Mei-shu Memorial Gallery (traditional Chinese: 李梅樹紀念館; simplified Chinese: 李梅树纪念馆; pinyin: Lǐméishù Jìniànguǎn) is a memorial gallery located in Sanxia District, New Taipei, Taiwan. The gallery is dedicated to Taiwanese painter, sculptor and politician Li Mei-shu.
History[edit]
The gallery was opened on 9 April 1995 by descendants of Li.
In May 2024, the gallery was forced to cover up a large poster of Li's 1936 painting, Reclining Nude, from a parking lot, where it had been displayed to promote an upcoming exhibition, following complaints by parents from the neighboring Anxi Elementary School for its nudity and Mandarin captions containing a sexual connotations.[1]
Exhibitions[edit]
The gallery exhibits various artwork collections and documents of Li.[2][3]
