On November 3rd, 2017, the “Amy Liang Bonsai Museum” was officially opened. The museum is located in Taipei (Taiwan) and boasts an excellent and varied collection of Bonsai masterpieces.

The Hwa Fong Exhibition (台灣華風展) is the most important annual show held in Taiwan, with 26 clubs each submitting 10 trees - the best of Taiwanese Bonsai. With two additional special exhibitions, well over 200 trees are on display.

Although Bonsai is a millennia old art-form, it would take until the early 17th century for Westerners to discover these miniature creations on their voyages to Asia. And only at several world expositions held in the late 19th century was the art introduced to the general public.
