唐獎榮耀展移師高雄延續美好生活對話

【高雄訊】2024年的第六屆「唐獎週」系列活動已在10月初完滿告一段落，原首波在中正紀念堂開幕的台北場「唐獎榮耀展」，即日起移師高雄的國立科學工藝博物館續展兩年，為大家帶來一場別開生面的知識饗宴，展期至2026年11月6日止。

唐獎教育基金會陳振川執行長與國立科學工藝博物館李秀鳳館長親自出席(7)日的開幕會場，一起宣傳第六屆「唐獎榮耀展」高雄場活動，並分別為大家介紹展區亮點及獻上致詞祝賀。雙方在多屆合作下，透過「唐獎榮耀展」也讓南部地區民眾可更深入了解得主們對世界的重大貢獻，期待家長及老師們能陪同青年學子前來參觀。

陳執行長特別介紹本屆榮耀展的策展概念，是以「唐獎榮耀與美好生活對話」為核心，結合科技與藝術的創新呈現方式，提供觀展者在視覺與思想上的交乘體驗。場內設置了互動牆面及生活化的「對談式」展區，透過巧妙設計的情境，帶領大家主動探索唐獎得主在永續發展、生技醫藥、漢學、法治四大領域的卓越成就，體會這些成就如何造福我們的日常生活。

其對應在展區內容的規劃主軸，則是藉由「唐獎小鎮」的構思去做設計，以家的意象來串聯「推進美好生活」、「永續之家」、「醫學研討會」、「漢學書房」、「法治公民會所」及「數位互動區」六大主題；形式上便以屋脊的山形牆元素搭配一室一主題，透過得主肖像與對話框，營造「對談式」情境，引導民眾在熟悉的生活場域向得主們學習且獲得啟發。

必看亮點之一的數位互動區更提供民眾沉浸式的觀展體驗，以直觀又趣味的方式呈現抽象的學術成就，也拉近得主研究與我們日常生活的距離。其中，「小唐的一天」展示牆運用結合科技與藝術的新型態展示手法，只要輕觸牆面上的中英文按鈕，即可觸發多樣之動態效果，生動地展示得主們的研究成果。

最後，在即將逛完展區的同時，別忘了基金會在本屆還有為大家準備了一份特別的心意。只要您與互動區的Dr.Tang翻牌留言牆合影後，於11/8~11/28期間到「唐獎官方臉書專頁」( https://www.facebook.com/tangprize )置頂的活動貼文，上傳分享您和背板的照片並於下留言「我關注的未來…」，就有機會抽中限量20組的唐獎精美小禮(內有行李束帶、手機背帶、茄芷鑰匙包)，歡迎大家揪團結伴來同樂。

Glory of the Tang Prize Exhibition Moves to Kaohsiung, Continuing the Pursuit of a Better Life

After the successful conclusion of the 2024 Tang Prize Week in early October of this year, the Glory of the Tang Prize Exhibition, which premiered at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, is now making its way to the National Science and Technology Museum in Kaohsiung for a two-year run. This captivating exhibition promises a unique intellectual feast for visitors until November 6, 2026.

Dr. Jenn-Chuan Chern, CEO of the Tang Prize Education Foundation, and Dr. Lee Hsiu-Feng, Director-General of the National Science and Technology Museum, were both present at the opening ceremony in Kaohsiung on November 7th to promote the exhibition. They highlighted the exhibition’s key features and delivered congratulatory addresses. Through their ongoing collaboration, the Glory of the Tang Prize Exhibition allows people in southern Taiwan to gain a deeper understanding of the laureates’ significant contributions to the world. Parents and teachers are encouraged to bring young students to experience this inspiring exhibition.

Dr. Chern explained that the core curatorial concept of this year’s exhibition is “Conversations between Tang Prize Excellence and the Pursuit of a Better Life.” The exhibition seamlessly blends technology and art to create an immersive experience that engages both visually and intellectually. Interactive walls and lifelike “dialogue-style” exhibition areas, with cleverly designed scenarios, encourage visitors to actively explore the remarkable achievements of the Tang Prize Laureates in four fields: Sustainable Development, Biopharmaceutical Science, Sinology, and Rule of Law. The exhibition demonstrates how these achievements benefit our daily lives.

The exhibition’s design introduced the metaphorical concept of the “Tang Prize Town.” This metaphorical town, built around the idea of “home,” connects six major themes: “For a Better Life for All,” “Sustainable Home,” “Medical Symposium,” “Sinology Study,” “Rule of Law Civic Center,” and “Digital Interactive Zone.” Each themed room features gabled roof elements, portraits of laureates, and dialogue boxes, creating a conversational atmosphere and encouraging visitors to learn from and be inspired by the laureates within familiar settings.

One of the must-see highlights is the Digital Interactive Zone, which offers an immersive experience. It presents abstract academic achievements in an intuitive and engaging way, connecting the laureates’ research with our daily lives. For example, the “A Day of Young Tang” display wall uses a novel combination of technology and art. Visitors can trigger various dynamic effects that vividly showcase the laureates’ research outcomes by touching the Chinese and English buttons on the walls.

Finally, as you finish your tour, don’t miss out on a special gift prepared by the Foundation! In the interactive zone, take a photo with the Dr. Tang flip-card message wall. Then, between November 8^th and 28^th, upload to the Tang Prize official Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/tangprize ) and share your photo with the backdrop on the pinned post. Leave a comment with “The Future We are Invested in…” and you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of 20 exclusive, limited-edition Tang Prize gift sets (including a luggage strap, a phone lanyard, and a water hyacinth key chain). Gather your friends and join the fun!

About the Tang Prize

Since the advent of globalization, mankind has been able to enjoy the convenience brought forth by the advancement of human civilization and science. Yet a multitude of challenges, such as climate change, the emergence of new infectious diseases, wealth gap, and moral degradation, have surfaced along the way. Against this backdrop, Dr. Samuel Yin established the Tang Prize in December 2012. It consists of four award categories, namely Sustainable Development, Biopharmaceutical Science, Sinology, and Rule of Law. Every other year, four independent and professional selection committees, comprising many internationally renowned experts, scholars, and Nobel winners, choose as Tang Prize laureates people who have influenced and made substantive contributions to the world, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or gender. A cash prize of NT$50 million (approx. US$1.7 million) is allocated to each category, with NT$10 million (approx. US$ 0.35 million) of it being a research grant intended to encourage professionals in every field to examine mankind’s most urgent needs in the 21st century, and become leading forces in the development of human society through their outstanding research outcomes and active civic engagement.
