Taipei Contemporary Art Museum Introduction
The Taipei Fine Arts Museum is a historic building characterized by its red brick facade, wooden trusses, vertically elongated windows, and a black-tiled hipped roof. During the Japanese occupation, it served as the campus for Taipei City School. After the end of Japanese rule, 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 was repurposed as an art museum, while the east and west wings remained as part of the campus for Jiancheng Junior High School. The museum was originally named the "Taipei Second Art Museum," but it became independent from the "Beisheng Museum" and was officially renamed the "Taipei Fine Arts Museum" in 2000, showcasing a variety of contemporary artworks. To enhance public understanding of the exhibits, the museum offers free audio guide downloads, free audio guide rentals, and free group tour services. Additionally, there are seminars, lecture series, and workshops available on weekends, along with occasional training camps, open to public participation.
