Taipei Fine Arts Museum Introduction
Founded in 1983, it is Taiwan's first modern art museum, featuring innovative and vibrant space and exhibition planning that integrates public life with art appreciation. The museum comprises one basement level and three above-ground levels. The basement mainly hosts exhibitions for young artists and groups, as well as competition exhibitions, and offers library and dining services. The first floor, aside from the entrance lobby, has a spacious area with a 6-meter high exhibition wall and three-story-high ceilings primarily used for significant domestic and international exhibitions. The second floor features permanent exhibition areas structured according to art history or themes, showcasing various collections. The bright and cross-shaped space on the third floor focuses on thematic exhibitions. The building was designed by architects Gao and Pan. In addition to exhibitions, the museum regularly organizes seminars and family activities on weekends to create opportunities for interaction between the museum and the public, bridging the gap between art and daily life. It has also introduced Saturday evening hours to foster a rich artistic atmosphere at night. Special lighting has been added to the museum and outdoor sculptures; the large bronze sculpture "Zhu Ming - Tai Chi Arch" and the red stainless steel sculpture "Li Zai-Xian - Red Does Not Yield" have become beautiful visual focal points on Zhongshan North Road at night.
