Mei Ling Art Museum Introduction
Meiling Art Museum is located within Zhongzheng Park in Puzi City. It was established in 1984 by students of Master Wu Meiling, in gratitude for their mentor's educational spirit, to promote the master’s philosophy and foster local art development. In 1991, with the consent of all board members of the foundation, the incomplete building was donated to the Chiayi County Government for further construction, and it was officially completed and inaugurated on July 11, 1995, coinciding with Mr. Wu Meiling's centenary birthday. Since its establishment, the Cultural Affairs Bureau's Meiling Art Museum has been dedicated to connecting the industrial activities of various towns and cities in Chiayi County, supporting the establishment of local specialty museums to develop agricultural, forestry, fisheries, and tourism resources and culture.
