Taipei Fine Arts Museum Introduction
The Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a historic building with a red brick exterior, wooden framework, vertical elongated windows, and a black-tiled Western-style sloping roof. During the Japanese occupation, it served as the school building for Taipei Municipal Jiancheng Elementary School. After Taiwan's restoration, it became an office for the Taipei City Government. In 1994, the Taipei City Government moved to the Xinyi Planning District, and the front part of the city government building was used as an art museum, while the eastern and western wings became classrooms for Jiancheng Junior High School. Originally named the "Taipei Second Art Museum," it later became independent from "Beimen Art Museum" and officially changed its name to the "Taipei Contemporary Art Museum" in 2000, showcasing a variety of contemporary art works. To help the public better understand the artworks, the museum offers free audio guide downloads, free audio guide rentals, and free guided tours for groups. On weekends, there are symposiums, a series of lectures, and workshop activities, and occasional training camps are held, welcoming public participation.
