Taipei Fine Arts Museum Introduction
Opened in 1983, it is Taiwan's first modern art museum, with a space and exhibit planning that is innovative and lively, integrating the public's daily life with art appreciation. The museum's space includes 1 basement level and 3 ground levels. The basement mainly provides exhibits for young artists and groups, as well as competition exhibits, along with library and dining services. The first floor, in addition to the entrance hall, features a large 6-meter high wall in the exhibition room and a spacious area with a 3-story high ceiling, primarily used for important large-scale exhibitions from both domestic and international sources. The second floor is dedicated to permanent exhibits, categorized according to the framework of art history or themes, showcasing various collections. The third floor, with bright lighting and a cross-shaped layout, focuses on thematic exhibitions. The building was designed by architect Gao Jui-chung. Besides exhibitions, the museum regularly hosts seminars and family activities on weekends, creating opportunities for interaction between the museum and the public, further bridging the gap between art and life. Currently, the museum has also introduced Saturday night openings, enhancing the nighttime artistic atmosphere by specially lighting the museum building and outdoor sculptures. The large bronze sculpture "Zhu Ming - Taiji Arch" and the red stainless steel "Li Zaiqian - Red Unrestrained" in the plaza have become beautiful visual focal points on Zhongshan North Road at night.
