One day, I want the entire collection to be returned home, to be returned to Taiwan."
To provide South California residents a final chance to see the national treasure of Taiwan before it is gone, Sun Ten Museum proudly presents “Drama and Exhibit” displaying its collection from June 2 to June 19, 2019.
