Some people love going to museums… but other people think art museums are… um… a little boring. 有人喜歡，也有人覺得美術館有一點無聊。 What do you think? Do you like looking at art? Well, there's one art museum in Sweden I think almost everyone would want to go to. At this museum in Sweden, there is no art hanging on the walls. In fact, this museum has nothing on the walls! 瑞典有一座美術館，牆壁上什麼都沒有掛！ This museum has rooms filled with giant balls, huge pillows, and other cool things… like a room full of pink washing machines! 裡面每一個房間有不同東西，有大球，或是大枕頭。還有一間，它裡面都是粉紅色的洗衣機！ Why? Well, the museum wants you to take photos, or videos, or selfies in the rooms. The museum wants you to be the art. 這座美術館希望你照相、錄影，或是自拍，成為藝術的一部份。 You take pictures. And then, your selfie or video becomes art… your art. Art made by you…for you! 這些照片跟影片就變成你自己的藝術作品！ I think this sounds super fun. I like art museums… but, I have to say, sometimes they can be a little boring. 感覺很有趣！普通的美術館有時候真的有一點無聊。 It's a pretty interesting idea. Don't look at art… BE the art! 不要只敬佩藝術，要成為藝術的一部份。 What do you think? Should we build this kind of museum in Taiwan?
