《奇美博物館：幸福夢想》作者曹欽榮表示，這本書有趣的是不只探索奇美新館的夢想，台南博物館的起源、馬偕設立博物館故事；書的最後所附的參考書、延伸閱讀、網站，增添了讀者綜覽國內外博物館，開啟看建築、看博物館的趣味，最重要的是以觀眾的角度體會一切美的事物和人們的夢想。參加新書發表會之公教人員並可獲得2小時終身學習研習時數。


林家成新增了 2 張相片 — 覺得很有成就感──和 C.j. Tsao 。

從踏入社會，四十多年來，到各個不同類型的博物館、美術館參觀，成為我人生學習的重要課程。

能邀請《奇美博物館》作者曹欽榮先生到「信義書局」的「文化講座」演講「博物館的時代精神」，是一種莫大的榮幸。

二個小時的演講，從世界各地的博物館談到許文龍先生從企業家成立了「奇美博物館」襟懐，令人佩服。

會後我以自書的毛筆字「仰觀泰山知羣山之卑，臨視北海知眾流之小」致贈曹欽榮先生，感謝這一場演講，讓我們更深刻了解博物館的時代精神，以及一個有良知的企業家對社會所應扮演的角色！

From flying in World War II to collecting priceless works of art, Henry Bloch has had an amazing life. We are so fortunate.

What you may not know about Henry Bloch

Henry Bloch, co-founder of H&R Bloch and one of Kansas City’s most notable philanthropists, talks about some of his favorite things and one thing he does for fun.

KANSASCITY.COM

Q: You’ve donated your Impressionist paintings to the Nelson to hang in gallery space that is under renovation. But it appears they’re all still here on your walls.

A: See these pictures here? Know what they’re worth? They’re worth maybe a dollar each. These are copies. The Nelson did this for me. These are photographs, but more than photographs. I don’t know how they did this. They have no value. I used to close draperies because the sun is so bad for paintings. But the man at the Nelson said let it go. You can touch them if you want. We’ll get you a new one. These have no value. It was time to give the paintings. They have them there now.

(Note: The Nelson’s new Impressionist galleries, including the Bloch collection, will open to the public in March 2017.)

Q: Among all the masterpieces you’ve purchased and given to the Nelson, will you admit to a favorite?

A: It’s a Sisley, Alfred Sisley. (The copy) is on my second floor. There’s a story behind it. After I bought it, I said I just don’t like that picture. We used to have it down here but we moved it upstairs. We kept the best pictures downstairs. We had the head of Sotheby’s here from London. I asked him, I bought this picture but I just don’t like it. What’s wrong with it? He said it’s a wonderful picture. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s the frame. It needs a new frame. Frames are very important. After I got a new frame now it’s my favorite picture. It’s not the most valuable. But it’s a beautiful picture.

Q: What’s the first thing you want a visitor to Kansas City to see?

A: I made a list because it’s hard to pick one. First, I’d say the Nelson. Then I wrote down the World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial. Well, those two. That’s it. They are wonderful.
