Description of Our Community: Taipei City is one of the major cities in Taiwan that have developed heavily. In addition, the well-known Taipei City has high political and economic development, and the cultural development is something that could not be ignored. National Palace Museum is of the places that have reserved the culture of Taipei City. As one of the Taiwanese citizens, we deeply appreciate the importance of cultural reservation, so we decided to visit “Hall of Long” in Taipei City, Zhongshan District.“Hall of Long” is established by Mao-Long Li, who is an expert in deterioration of Classical Chinese Scroll Paintings. This personal workshop is located in Taipei, Taiwan. Due to the moisture in Taiwan, many artworks are defective. Therefore,“Hall of Long” stands as an important platform on repairing the scroll paintings.

Project Description: Mao-Long Lin is currently a specialist for restoration of classical Chinese scroll paintings. He has been participating in scroll painting restoration for 15 years already. He had worked for the mounting department of National Palace Museum (NPM) for several years. Now, he holds his personal studio for restoring scroll paintings. Restoration is a skill to repair damaged artwork. It requires a lot of time and energy for each piece of artwork but it is the only way to save and maintain a damage artwork. Though it has always been an important job, Mr. Lin had a hard time maintaining his income just based on restoration. However, his passion towards art drives him through difficulties and became a well-known specialist in his field.
