Mizen Head on the Mizen Peninsula is Ireland's mainland most southwesterly point. Breathtaking cliffs, beautiful views, lively sea life and educational experiences can all be found here. Head right away to the Visitor Centre, where you'll learn more about the history of this place, which is home to a signal station that housed Ireland's first radio beacon. Then, climb down the 99 steps that lead to a high arched suspension bridge connecting a rocky crag to the mainland, until you find yourself at the signal station, where another exciting exhibition awaits. Out on the horizon, you can spot the imposing Fastnet Lighthouse standing on a rock known as Ireland’s teardrop.

Museum Of Contemporary Arts is the first art institution in Taiwan dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. The building that houses the museum was built in the 1920s as an elementary school, and later became Taipei’s city hall. It was not until 2001 that it was converted into an art museum. Over the past years the museum has hosted more than a hundred exhibitions of local and overseas artists.
