Last time, the Taiwan Academy was shown as 漢學書房 on the wall where books were displayed. But in the following photo shown in another room, it is 臺灣書院。Read the following inauguration report of 10/17. It's all Chinese.

Taiwan Academy branches were officially launched in New York, Houston and Los Angeles Oct. 14 to facilitate cultural exchanges and introduce Chinese culture with Taiwanese features to the world.
ROC first lady Chow Mei-ching, Council for Cultural Affairs Minister Emile Chih-jen Sheng and Jason Yuan, ROC representative to the U.S., attended an opening ceremony at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York.
Other distinguished guests included New York City Comptroller John Liu, Asia Society President Vishakha Desai and United Nations ambassadors representing ROC diplomatic allies.
ROC President Ma Ying-jeou addressed the ceremony by video conference, saying that the aim of establishing Taiwan Academy branches is not to compete with mainland China’s Confucius Institute, but rather to promote studies of Taiwan and its diverse culture, Sinology, Mandarin and traditional Chinese characters.
“The 5,000-year legacy of Chinese culture has been well preserved and developed in Taiwan. It is hoped that Taiwan Academy will become a platform of cultural exchange to allow everyone who loves Chinese culture to share this age-old, rich culture, which comes with unique Taiwanese characteristics,” Ma said.
Liu, who immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan with his parents at the age of five, said the establishment of Taiwan Academy further enriches the city of New York, which is already a melting pot of diverse cultures.
To celebrate the occasion, students from Taiwu Elementary School in Pingtung County performed indigenous Paiwan songs and a puppet show showcased traditional Taiwanese culture.
Exhibitions featuring the works of noted Taiwanese calligrapher Tong Yang-tze and the interaction of art with science and technology in Taiwan also kicked off in conjunction with the opening ceremony.
Another highlight of the inauguration was a story-telling event hosted by Chow, who fascinated students from New York Chinese School with the story of Han dynasty statesman Su Wu.
In addition to its branches, Taiwan Academy online applies information technology to integrate resources from 14 government agencies and the private sector, providing users with academic and pedagogical databases, according to Sheng.
The academies will provide scholarships worth more than NT$640 million (US$21.1 million) every year for Taiwan and Sinology studies, as well as research on Chinese languages, he added. (THN)
