We took the Fuxing Shuttle from Kaohsiung Station to KMFA Station and walked 950 m northeast to this museum. Built in 1994 with a 90 acre surrounding park, both with the purpose of exhibiting sculptures. The lobby attendant checked our passports and permitted free entry as seniors to the permanent exhibit. After passing through the huge 4 floor Sculpture Hall, featuring a 6th C 10' marble Buddha, we saw successive rooms with undulating screens, multi media exhibits utilizing virtual reality masks, or manipulation of objects to personalize pictures, and one hall devoted to calligraphy. These are very creative exhibits that ventured into unfamiliar territory for us; very worthwhile and fascinating.

We arrived by taxi and left by E20 bus. The museum is arranged as an entrance building with shops and food vendors, then 8 pagodas (some of which were closed), then the main hall crowned by an enormous Buddha statue. We did not see the Buddha tooth relic, but visited four stupas at the top level. After a nice vegetarian lunch, we took a free shuttle van up to the monastery, and walked back through the grounds to the entrance. We were impressed by the grounds which are well kept.

Marvelous!!! This is a huge building complex, housing an Opera House (2236 seats), a Concert Hall (1981 seats), a Playhouse (1210 seats) and a Recital Hall (434 seats). All are world-class venues. They are connected by wavy floors and a stunning, streamline roof. It is said that the center is the largest single roof arts venue in the world. The Center has opened and operated since 2018. In the building complex, there are also a restaurant, a dinning pub, a coffee shop, a tea house and some other shops. You can hang around here all day long. It really is a modern architectural masterpiece. I think it will become the land mark of Kaohsiung City.
