Chiayi Art Museum

Chiayi Art Museum is an art museum in Taiwan housed in a historic industrial building that offers various exhibition spaces featuring contemporary artists. The building was reopened as a gallery and cultural space after comprehensive renovation.

The building was constructed in 1936 as a factory for the Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau during Japanese administration. After decades of other uses, it was converted into an art museum in the late 20th century.

The museum displays works by regional and international artists and hosts regular workshops and events that invite people to engage with contemporary art. Visitors can discover local artistic voices alongside international perspectives here.

The museum is within walking distance of Chiayi Station and has a bookstore, library, restaurant, and garden areas. The facilities make it easy to spend several hours here in comfort.

During renovation, two original warehouses were preserved and converted into modern art galleries, with the industrial history still visible. Visitors can experience these transformed spaces and see how historical structures merge with contemporary artistic practice.
