Hwa Kang Museum, University museum at Chinese Culture University in Shilin District, Taiwan.
The Hwa Kang Museum is a collection at Chinese Culture University spanning three floors with ceramics, paintings, and folk art works on display. The spaces serve both temporary exhibitions and permanent collections showcasing traditional art forms.
The institution was founded in 1963 as a display space for Chinese art and received its current name and status in 1971. This change marked its evolution into a formal academic art museum.
The museum displays works by local and student artists that reflect the university's ongoing artistic dialogue. Visitors can observe how traditional Chinese art forms continue to influence contemporary creations.
The museum has different areas for various types of works and exhibitions, making it worth exploring multiple floors. Plan enough time to see both current displays and the permanent collection.
The museum holds a painting with an unusual history, having been gifted to an American president and displayed in the White House. This work remains one of the collection's most valued pieces.
