Taipei Contemporary Art Museum Introduction
The Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a historical building, featuring a red brick surface, wooden framework, vertically elongated windows, and a black tiled sloped roof in the Western style. During the Japanese colonial period, it served as the campus for Taipei Built Primary School. After the end of Japanese rule, it became an office for the Taipei City Government. In 1994, the Taipei City Government moved to the Xinyi Planning District, and the main building was repurposed as an art museum, while the east and west wings continued to serve as classrooms for the Banchao Junior High School. Originally named the "Taipei Second Art Museum," it later separated from the "National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts" and was officially renamed "Taipei Contemporary Art Museum" in 2000, showcasing various contemporary artworks. To enhance public understanding of the exhibits, the museum offers free audio guides for download, free audio guides for loan, and free guided tours for groups. On weekends, it hosts discussions, a series of lectures, and workshop activities, and occasionally organizes training camps, welcoming public participation.
