Department Introduction
The Graduate Institute of Art History established the NTU Art Museum Preparatory Office in 2017. In 2021, the Art Museum Preparatory Office officially joined the NTU Museums, exchanged and interacted with other member museums on campus, integrated campus cultural heritages and collections, and provided teaching resources.
After establishing the Art Museum Preparatory Office, in addition to spatial planning and curating exhibitions, organizing and expanding collections have also been essential tasks. After all efforts, the collection currently includes paintings, calligraphy, ceramic relics, educational specimens, books, and manuscripts donated and deposited by faculty members and students, alums, private collectors, well-known overseas scholars, and foundations, all of which have significant artistic and academic reference value. In the future, the Art Museum will focus on ancient artifacts, artworks, specimens, and archival materials and expand to modern and contemporary artworks.
The Art Museum was officially inaugurated on May 31, 2023. The first exhibition also opened simultaneously, completing the first phase task. The core values of the Art Museum are artworks and people who include researchers, curators, visitors, students, and artists to conduct research/experimentation, education/learning, and mutual benefit/collaboration. The museum will adhere to such principles, continue to plan exhibitions to promote the humanities and art on campus, integrate it with teaching to provide practical course learning resources, and gradually develop into a first-class university art museum.
