Taipei Contemporary Art Museum Introduction
The Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a historic building featuring a red brick facade, wooden framework, vertically elongated windows, and a sloped black-tiled roof in a Western style. During the Japanese occupation, it served as the campus for Taipei City Chengzhong Elementary School. After the recovery of Taiwan, it became the office of the Taipei City Government. In 1994, the city government relocated to the Xinyi Planning Area, and the front building of the city government office was transformed into a museum. The east and west wings were used as the campus for Chengzhong Junior High School. The museum was originally named "Taipei Second Art Museum" before becoming independent from the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and was officially renamed "Taipei Contemporary Art Museum" in 2000, showcasing various contemporary art works. To help the public better understand the works, the museum offers free audio guide downloads, free audio guide rentals, and free group tours. On weekends, there are discussion sessions, lecture series, and workshops, and occasional training camps are held, welcoming public participation.
