National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Introduction
The National Taiwan Arts Education Center, established on March 29, 1957, is the first public art museum in Taiwan and the only government agency focused on promoting "art education" as its core business. The center's central philosophy revolves around the relationship between people and art, promoting the establishment of arts education in schools and collaborating with various sectors to advance aesthetic education, aiming for a goal where "art becomes a part of life, and life becomes an art." The National Taiwan Arts Education Center is located in the Nanhai Academy area, which features both natural and cultural characteristics. The building, constructed in the 1950s, showcases post-war classical Chinese architectural styles and includes two major structures: the Nanhai Theater and the Nanhai Academy. Additionally, the surrounding area features the Nanhai Outdoor Art Gallery and the Nanhai Arts and Cultural Square, hosting activities related to research, promotion, and guidance of school arts education. It serves as an important venue for art presentation, learning, and cultivating creative talents. In 2006, the Taipei City Historic Sites Review Committee designated the National Taiwan Arts Education Center buildings (including the Nanhai Theater and Nanhai Academy) as "historic buildings," forming a unique architectural cluster within the "Nanhai Academy" alongside the nearby Educational Broadcasting Station and the National Museum of History, presenting urban landscape and historical value.
