Tainan City Art Museum Building 1 (Former Tainan City Police Department/ Former Japanese Colonial Time Tainan Police Agency)(台南市美術館一館(原台南市警察局/原日治時台南警察署))

Introduce

The design and construction of the museum was a joint effort between architect Chao Yung Shih and Pritzker Award winning Shigeru Ban Architects. The main building was constructed as the Tainan Police Department in 1931. Sutejiro Umezawa, the chief engineer of Tainan County at the time, designed the Eclectic building in the Art Déco style and it is now a historic site of Tainan City. The fusion of new and old spaces at Building 1 now hosts the works of local artists in Tainan and those of important artists from other regions. Multiple art activities are conducted to support the development of aesthetics education.

Art museum, a former police station

2019-07

The fine art museum has 2 buildings, the old police station is also known as #1 building, and #2 is 2 streets away. The entrance fee is TWD$150 for both buildings. This museum has the Formosa painting in display now and it was stunning. The building itself is historical but that’s about it. I like the exhibits in #2 more.

local arts in spacious historical building

2019-05

It's former police station but now becomes a museum. When I visited, only saw the local artwork, not really creative but the content was local topics. You enjoy the spacious interior especially the centre garden and the elegant main stairs, but the entrance hall is modern design. Honestly, not many exhibits but a good place for leisure walk in a historical building with free entrance.

古い建築と新しい建築が融合

2019-09

正面は、旧台南警察署の古めかしい建築だが、中庭を抜けると、モダンな建築にするっと入ってしまう面白い作り。やはり、展示物がまだまだでした。第2と第1の共通券を買って入りました。

옛 타이난 경찰서

2019-03

일제강점기 타이난의 경찰서로 사용되던 건물을 미술관으로 현재 개조해서 쓰고 있습니다. 눈에 잘 띄진 않는데 공자묘 가는 길에 보입니다.

建物が素敵です

2019-04

台南は歴史的建造物を大切に保持し活用しているなと感心します。時間がなく中には入りませんでしたが、2019年5月21日まで無料参観できるそうです。
