Taiwan Flower Tile Museum Introduction
The Taiwan Tile Museum has recently become a must-visit attraction for travelers coming to Chiayi City. It is one of the rare museums in the world dedicated to the theme of tile art, housing 1,500 pieces of various types of Taiwanese tiles. For over a century, these tiles have quietly played an important role in Taiwan's architectural development, enhancing the homes of wealthy merchants and showcasing family fortunes. Over the past 20 years, the museum has rescued, restored, and preserved more than 4,000 pieces of century-old tiles from traditional houses, displaying the art of tile architecture in Taiwan from 1915 to 1935. The Taiwan Tile Museum has also attracted international attention in recent years, including collaboration with the famous Japanese spa company "SPAWORLD" which commissioned a team of Taiwanese artisans to design and produce 5,500 tiles for a dedicated tile space; coverage by NHK, Japan's national broadcasting organization, featuring the Taiwan Tile Museum and a special report on tile products exported to Japan; and the launch of a public welfare limited edition skincare product by South Korea's top skincare brand Sulwhasoo that features Taiwanese tiles. It has been selected by the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a diplomatic gift, making it a fascinating place filled with world-class tile culture worth exploring.
