Chung Tai World Museum

Reviewed By TxShick

I learned a lot, but it helps if you already have an interest in the historical expansion of Buddhism in China. This museum is very accommodating to foreigners. All of the English descriptions were just as informative as the Mandarin signs, and the volunteers used English to thoroughly explain the museum facilities. I also loved the sections on epitaphs and Confucius, but there was no extra info via audio tour. Note: the snack bar is cashless and the full service restaurant is near the Wood Carving Museum, which is near the monastery; this museum is a separate complex. Bus time were well displayed. I spent all day here. I really enjoyed my visit.

Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts

Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States

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.

National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts

Reviewed By stevekyne - New Taipei, Taiwan

Admittedly were lucky to be visiting during the Taiwan Biennale, which was superb. But putting aside the current major exhibition, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts is a great example of a public art space. In particular its permanent exhibitions on the third floor with exemplary accessibility aids, has to be commended. Loved our visit, and will definitely return.

Juming Museum

The museum is Ju Ming’s largest artwork to date. He personally designed the architecture, landscapes, wirings and plumbing. Not only did he purchase the property to build the museum, but he also donated over 2000 pieces of his own works and personal collection to the museum for the public to view. Starting from the ground up, it took Ju Ming 12 years to finish the construction work and he had turned a vacant land into a sculpture park. The museum officially opened in 1999, planting

Being a Tai Chi practitioner, my friends brought me to this museum which is devoted to the work of a Taiwanese artist. The place is mainly about sculpture, but there are also some other exhibits (photo, modern art installations). The museum is established in a huge park, with many monumental sculpture and installations. The road to the place is lovely, especially if you ride a motorbike: a small and sinuous mountain road in a beautiful surrounding.

Asia University Museum of Modern Art

The founders of Asia University, Mr. Tsai Chang-Hai and Mr. Lin Tseng Lien, officially put his plan into action when he invited Mr. Tadao Ando on the 4th May, 2007. He wanted there to be a museum accessible on campus, thus invited Pritzer Prize Winner Mr. Tadao Ando to do the designing. Aware of the general scarcity of resources on school grounds across Taiwan, it's evident that students have a lack of contact with art and the different aspects and characteristics art brings to a certain place. Mr. Tsai wanted to use the environment to influence and inspire the students of Asia University. Thus, having a world class museum within the University grounds, would enable both students and people of Taiwan to experience the presentation of internationally renowned artists in an endorsed environment. During a press conference in early 2008, Mr. Ando presented his concept for the triangular design. His aim was to achieve a balance between the environment, architecture and people. He also attended an on-campus seminar with the teachers and students of Asia University and led them to inspect the base. On Dec. 22, 2008, the museum was selected among the "2008 Top Ten Visual Art News Topics in Taiwan". The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Jan. 24, 2011 and the museum was inaugurated on Oct. 24, 2013. In Sep. 2013, the museum was officially named Asia University's Museum of Modern Art. The main structure of Asia University's Museum of Modern Art has been constructed from bare concrete structural components, faced with curtain walls. The interior covers an area of 4,111 square meters and the surrounding grounds measure up to 19,840 square meters. Designed by the Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, the equilateral triangle has been adopted as the basic constructional element and skillfully incorporated in a repeated motif to form three stories of the triangular building. An atrium space is created with a crisscrossing arrangement of concrete beams and the outdoor terraces contain sculptures on display. While the ground floor contains an area dedicated to guests, the café, a gift shop along with a lecture hall, the first and second floors contain art galleries, with one floor being the reverse mirror image of the other. On the first floor the perimeter hallways are wide enough to be used for the display of artworks on moveable walls, while on the top floor much narrower hallways circumvent a set of inner galleries. Hence, the galleries on the lower floor have a lot of daylight from one side, the upper floor galleries have to depend on electric light for illumination.

Weiwuying National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts

Reviewed By liucy752 - Taipei, Taiwan

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.
