The Taipei exhibition, which runs up to 26 August, includes King Hu creative works, notes and manuscripts, and other artworks created by artists who incorporated different media based on elements - such as inn, bamboo forest, and misty clouds - that distinguish Hu's work.

The interactive display also includes interviews conducted by the Chinese Taipei Film Archive with renowned figures in cinema, such as Ang Lee, Hark Tsui, Feng Hsu, Tong Wang and Edmond Wong, and the French director Hubert Niogret's 48-minute documentary, King Hu (2011).

For museum visitors to appreciate the interactive display, MOCA has teamed up with technology provides STMicroelectronics and CSR to offer an indoor navigation service where visitors can get information about the exhibition displays through their mobile phones, smartphones or even tablet.

CSR provided the SiRFusion platform and with the indoor navigation application from VisioGlobe and STMicroelectronics' MEMS, museum visitors get exhibition information on their mobile devices as they go near the exhibition displays. It is like the mobile devices act as an automatic exhibition guide complete with audio information.
