This year, the National Palace Museum has collaborated with the École Française d'Extrême-Orient to present the "Archaeology and the Cambodian Angkor Sites – A Special Photography Exhibition by the École Française d'Extrême-Orient" in Chiayi County, where the museum’s southern branch is located. The exhibition displays over fifty photographic images that introduce the work of the École Française d'Extrême-Orient at Cambodian heritage sites such as the Temple of the Goddess, the Baphuon Temple, and the Pavilion of the Serpent. These precious photographic materials also serve as important references for monument restoration and artistic archaeology.
Additionally, at 14:00 on September 8th, at the site of the "Archaeology and the Cambodian Angkor Sites – A Special Photography Exhibition by the École Française d'Extrême-Orient," Dominique Soutif, a researcher from the École Française d'Extrême-Orient, will give a related presentation titled "A Century of Research in Cambodia: Archaeological Activities of the École Française d'Extrême-Orient in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh," with Chinese interpretation provided.
Since 2005, the National Palace Museum has been collaborating with the École Française d'Extrême-Orient, jointly organizing numerous Southeast Asian art lectures. In 2007 and 2009, they co-hosted the "Southeast Asian Academic Exchange Tour Seminar" and the "Convergence: Shaping Asia through Exchange International Symposium," inviting experts in the field to engage in academic exchanges as a prelude to the opening of the museum’s southern branch.
