Museum of Jade Art Taipei

Ever been to the Musuem of Jade Art in Taipei? 

It's a freaking amazing place. 

As well as being educational, you can count on going in and sitting there jaws dropped for at least 2 hours. The jadeite sculptures are amazing. Even the front door decoration and part of bathroom basin is made of jadeite. 

The sculptures are creations of Soofeen Hu, founder of Rich Jade jewellery chain in Taiwan. 

The sculptures often features imagery from Buddhism such as the lotus leaf, buddha and his hands.
