Tainan Art Gallery Building 1

I really liked this art gallery. Your ticket is valid for both buildings, but I preferred this one to building 2. Im not sure if they are all temporary exhibitions or if there are permanent galleries - I’d recommend checking what’s on before your visit.

The city’s art centre hidden in an interesting historical building Well managed and scheduled with many local or new comer artists, that fully offers a great vibe … the big banyan tree living in the atrium is totally out of this world Therefore next trip to Tainan, remember to drop in, no regrets

This museum is a beautiful blend of history and classic architecture. It used to be a police station during the Japanese colonial era! The building has elegant details that make it a great spot for photos. Inside, there are exhibits and special displays that dive into local culture and history. What’s even better is that with just one ticket, you can visit both Tainan Art Gallery 1 and 2! The atmosphere is calm and a bit nostalgic, perfect for taking your time to soak in the experience 💗

Great architecture building…. Really love this old building. Every details revealed how much effort they have put in when the building was designed and built! Enjoy walking in the corridor and stair well… just stunning.

Some nice exhibitions currently, especially memory of a landscape, which although small had some exquisite otherworldly marble pieces. Ticket also includes the new art building, however currently not much is displayed there.

The exhibits were more interactive rather than artistic. It is still worth a visit if you are interested in art. The $200NT ticket covers both museums but I think kids would prefer this over the larger museum.

This is an art museum very much in time with its community. Tainan is a smallish town, less urban and so in many ways more interesting than the soaking metropoles. The curators do as much as they can to bring Artist works to life by including biographical narratives and plain language explanations of the works or their subsets. So even if you lack the vocabulary of the art world, it becomes easy to connect with the artist and their works. There are several addresses dedicated to shakers children that let them play with and experiment with art materials. Very refreshing change from high brow museums that do more to ring fence the works for the 'art elites' than to make their institutions valuable to the general community.

Nice art museum in a spacious environment. There’s an English guide and English translations available. Not crowded when we went. We spent about 1.5 hours there, though it can be completed faster. Cost is 200 for both museums.
