Palace Museum to discuss creative product ideas suggested by public
Palace Museum to discuss creative product ideas suggested by public
2025-12-10
The southern branch of the National Palace Museum is currently showing an exhibition featuring the trade, art, and culture of maritime Southeast Asia. One visitor especially liked a batik sarong on display, and asked the museum to use its pattern and sell it as a silk scarf. The suggestion was met with enthusiasm, getting lots of comments online. Others suggested making a mug out of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, or an earbud case out of a Qing Dynasty snuff bottle. The museum has heard all their creative ideas, and will actually meet to discuss their feasibility.

At the National Palace Museum, the gift shop has plenty of creative products to take home with you. Aside from the usual postcards, there’s this silk scarf I’m wearing with the painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Even the Mao Gongvessel can become a cup holder.
One visitor after seeing an early 20th century batik sarong with bouquet motifs on exhibit said in a post that if the museum made it into a silk scarf, they would definitely buy it. The comments section quickly became a wish list. Someone suggested making the recently trending Treaty of Shimonoseki into a mug or a scarf. Another said that the finely carved snuff bottles would make a beautiful earbud case.
Visitor
I think it’s a real selling point. To me, it’s super appealing.
Visitor
That vase thing could also be an umbrella stand.
Visitor
If your place is big enough, the Mao Gong vessel could be used for incense.
The museum actually saw all of these wishes!
Huang Yung-tai
Museum deputy director
Winter is here, so we can make wool scarves. Using these images would be great. And that one suggestion to make an AirPod case from a snuff bottle, I think that would be very effective. Of course, we first have to find a manufacturer and they have to agree. Actually, everyone reached a consensus in record time.
The museum has actually engaged in many unexpected collaborations before, even making a water dispenser. Its collection of cat images over time is a favorite. It has even made snacks.
Huang Yung-tai
Museum deputy director
Penghu has a double heart rock formation. We previously exhibited our meat-shaped rock in Penghu. So how did we combine these two? You are the “flesh of my heart,” or beloved one.
The museum as of October already made more than NT$300 million from its creative products, up 20% from the same period last year. You can’t take the artifacts home with you of course, but you can collect as many of these products as you want!

網友許願! 鼻煙壺耳機保護殼.馬關條約絲巾 故宮:已開會討論
2025-12-10
故宮南院正在展出，海洋東南亞的文化交會特展，有民眾好喜歡一件蠟染裙，發文向故宮喊話，希望能做成絲巾賣給他。沒想到獲得熱烈回響，還湧入大量留言，有網友點名想要馬關條約版的馬克杯，還有人說，把清朝精美鼻煙壺，做成耳機保護殼。大家創意全開，故宮還真的開會討論產品可行性。

“來到故宮參觀，文創商品是一大亮點，除了明信片之外，像我身上這一條，是富春山居圖的絲巾，而且現在連毛公鼎都可以變成飲料袋，讓民眾帶回家。”
有民眾到故宮南院參觀，看到這件20世紀初爪哇島的花束紋蠟染筒裙，發文跟故宮許願，要是做成絲巾一定買，貼文下方留言區居然成了許願池，有人點名最近很夯的馬關條約，能不能做成馬克杯或絲巾？還有人敲碗精美的鼻煙壺，變成耳機保護殼，也很漂亮。

“我覺得很有賣點，如果是我的話，很有吸引力對我來說。”
[[民眾]]
“那個花瓶什麼，可以做雨傘的架子也可以。”
[[民眾]]
“如果家裡夠大，（毛公鼎）也可以放那個薰香的也不錯。”
網路上的文創商品許願，故宮看到了!
[[故宮副院長 黃永泰]]
“冬天到了，我們可以用羊毛來做，然後用這些圖案，我覺得都很棒。另外一個他的建議，耳機保護殼用鼻煙壺，我覺得這效果很好。我們當然第一個要找到廠商，廠商他要同意，其實大家在最快的時間內，就達成一種共識。”
事實上，故宮有許多意想不到的跨界合作，包括飲水機都能聯名，歷代貓畫也是文創常客，甚至零食。
[[故宮副院長 黃永泰]]
“澎湖有一個雙心的石滬，（之前）我們的肉形石到澎湖去一個展出，那這兩個怎麼串在一起？你是我的心頭肉。”
故宮文創商品，累積到今年10月，已經突破3億，較去年成長20%，畢竟文物不能帶走，變成文創就能帶回家收藏。
