Taipei Fine Arts Museum

Taiwan's first contemporary art museum, TFAM was officially opened to the public on 24 December 1983. Located in Taipei's Yuanshan district, the museum occupies over 20,000 square meters of space, of which 15,000 square meters are devoted to exhibition space. TFAM is fulfilling its mission to promote contemporary art in Taiwan by planning exhibitions, by collecting artwork from Taiwan and abroad, and by encouraging art-related education and research. TFAM also promotes international exchange, providing a point of contact with the international art scene through its outreach programs within Taiwan and its sponsorship of Taiwanese art exhibitions abroad.

TFAM's exhibitions of modern and contemporary art enhance the cultural life of Taipei, a cosmopolitan and international city moving from the 20th into the 21st century. The museum building., whose walls of glass offer wrap-around views of both the natural landscape and the surrounding cityscape, merges interior and exterior space, is a landmark and symbol of Taipei. Besides serving as a space for art exhibitions and education, the TFAM also offers space for conversation, recreation, and contemplation in its food court and bookstores. The TFAM is a place for artful living and the living arts.
