Taipei Contemporary Art Museum Introduction
The Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a historical building with a red brick exterior, wooden framework, vertically elongated windows, and a black-tiled sloped roof in a Western style. During the Japanese period, it served as the Taipei Jiancheng Elementary School. After Taiwan's retrocession, it became the Taipei City Government office. In 1994, the city government relocated to the Xinyi Planning District, and the main building was used as an art museum, while the eastern and western wings continued to serve as Jiancheng Junior High School. The museum was originally named "Taipei Second Art Museum," later separated from "Taipei Fine Arts Museum," and officially renamed "Taipei Contemporary Art Museum" in 2000, showcasing various contemporary artworks. To help the public understand the meanings behind the works, the museum offers free audio guide downloads, free audio guide rentals, and free group guided tours. There are also seminars, series of lectures, and workshop activities on weekends, along with occasional training camps, welcoming public participation.
