Taipei Fine Arts Museum Introduction
Opened in 1983, it is the first modern art museum in Taiwan, featuring a dynamic and lively planning of space and exhibits that integrates public life with art appreciation. The museum includes a basement level and three floors above ground. The basement mainly hosts exhibitions for young artists and groups, as well as competition exhibits, and provides additional services such as a library and dining. The first floor, aside from the entrance hall, features a 6-meter high wall in the exhibition room and a spacious area with a triple-height ceiling, primarily used for significant large-scale exhibitions both domestic and international. The second floor is dedicated to permanent exhibitions based on art history or themes, showcasing various collections. The third floor, with bright lighting and intercrossing double-cross spaces, focuses on thematic exhibitions. The building was designed by architect Kuan-Ho Hsu. In addition to exhibitions, the museum regularly organizes seminars and weekend family activities, creating opportunities for interaction between the museum and the public, thus bridging the gap between art and everyday life. It now also offers Saturday night openings to create a rich artistic atmosphere during nighttime, with special lighting added for the museum and outdoor sculptures. The large bronze sculpture "Chun Ming - Tai Chi Arch" and the red stainless steel "Lee Chih-Chung - Red Bot Long" in the plaza have become beautiful visual focal points along Zhongshan North Road at night.
