New Taipei Museum Reopens After Flood Damage from Typhoon Krathon
The Juming Museum in New Taipei's Jinshan District has reopened to the public
- over 10-days after suffering extensive (大面積的) damage from flooding
caused by Typhoon Krathon.
Floodwaters breached the museum's storage facilities, knocked down sculptures
displayed outside, and flooded low-lying areas on the museum's 110,000-square
meter campus when the storm battered Taiwan on October 4.
According to the museum's director Liu Bo-cun, 50 indoor and 86 outdoor
artworks were damaged, as was some of the museum's electrical equipment.
Liu says the works of art will all be professionally restored.
The Juming Museum is the largest outdoor museum in Taiwan and was designed by

Nigeria Tanker Explosion Leaves Dead and Injured.
More than 140 people, including children, are dead in Nigeria after an
overturned gasoline tanker truck exploded in flames while they tried to scoop
up fuel.
Dozens more were injured.
Police say the accident occurred at midnight in northern Jigawa state when
the tanker driver lost control on a highway.
Residents rushed to the scene before the blaze, and witnesses say the ensuing
(隨後的) fire spread so quickly that many couldn't escape.
People often salvage fuel from tanker accidents in the country, especially
because of soaring fuel prices, which have tripled since the government ended
costly gas subsidies last year.
