Taipei Fine Arts Museum Introduction
Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a historic building featuring a red brick façade, wooden framework, vertical elongated windows, and a black-tiled Western-style sloped roof. During the Japanese colonial period, it served as the school building for Taipei City Primary School. After Taiwan's retrocession, it became an office for the Taipei City Government. In 1994, the Taipei City Government relocated to the Xinyi Planning District, and the front building of the city hall was repurposed as an art museum, while the eastern and western wings continued to house Jiancheng Junior High School. The museum was originally named "Taipei Second Art Museum," then separated from "Beimen Art Museum," and officially renamed "Taipei Contemporary Art Museum" in 2000, showcasing various contemporary art works. To help the public understand the artworks better, the museum offers free audio guide downloads, free audio guide rentals, and free group guided tours. There are discussion sessions, series of lectures, and workshop activities on weekends, as well as occasional camps that welcome public enrollment.
