Taipei Fine Arts Museum

Modern, International, Local
TFAM is located in the Yuanshan District of Taipei City. As Taiwan’s first modern art museum, TFAM has maintained high ideals and goals since its inception, continuously and meticulously planning modern art exhibitions, collecting works representative of the development of Taiwanese art, engaging in academic research, actively promoting art education and international exchanges, and nurturing artistic talent. In addition, a wide variety of art events are held for all who enjoy art.

The basis of the museum’s collection is the results of the museum’s over twenty years of research and exhibition activities. More than 3,700 works have been collected, covering the many faces of modern art, and including many of the most representative works from Taiwan. This rich collection provides the museum with a basis for the establishment of various permanent collection exhibits. In addition, the establishment of a digital collection system allows a new turning point for resource integration and cultural reconstruction. The providing of online browsing to the public serves to further humanize and popularize the museum.

The museum adopted a multiple, combined space in order to help attract diverse modern art exhibits. Square windows extend the pleasing scenery while enhancing the dialogue between the museum and the park, and create an environment in which the interior and exterior of the museum reflect each other. In addition, the integrated coffee shop and art bookstore allows the museum to become a place of leisure, deep conversations and a sharing of experience, in addition to its role as a cultural center. Taipei Fine Arts Museum has truly reached its goal of ‘Bringing life to art, and art to life.’
