The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA) was inaugurated in 1988. Visual arts being its main theme, the museum focuses on the collection, research, exhibiting, and educational promotion of modern and contemporary art in Taiwan. The NTMoFA is dedicated to providing visitors with a diverse and professional space for appreciating art.
The exhibition rooms spread across three floors in the museum building. By curating research-based thematic exhibitions and solo exhibitions of senior artists, the NTMoFA aims to construct the history of fine art in Taiwan. While shedding light on the development of Taiwanese art history and relevant perspectives, the museum demonstrates a wealth of modern and contemporary Taiwanese artworks. In addition, the NTMoFA holds international biennales, contemporary art exhibitions, and exchange exhibitions to show the globe’s art trends and diverse creations, in hopes of winning more presence in the world’s art and culture community for Taiwan.
In exploration and discussion of newfound technologies, the NTMoFA sets up trending experimental sites for innovative displays. Such include the U-108 Space which introduces 5G technologies to immersive visual/audio performances. Integrating the virtual and the real, this multifunctional space enables artists to develop their works digitally and demonstrate interdisciplinary art. Recently, the museum has even established the Floating Isle: A VR Gallery, as the first experiential space for regular VR displays in Taiwan.
