KaohsiungArts and CraftsKaohsiung Museum of Fine ArtsAs an integrated museum of fine arts, the KMFA collects important local artworks to develop the museum into “a museum of the development of fine arts history in Taiwan” through introducing international art activities and presenting the style of regional fine arts development. By developing self-esteem from the confidence in collating regional culture and art, the KMFA demonstrates the research, collection, exhibition, education and promotion functions of a fine arts museum. In addition, the KMFA spares no efforts to operate the Neiweipi Culture Park to create an integrated leisure park integrating art, culture, natural ecology and education. Despite the limited financial and human resources, the KMFA spares no efforts to strive for cooperation with world-leading art museums and art foundations worldwide every year to introduce classic works of important schools and art maestros and systematically organize theme exhibitions to enrich the aesthetics literacy and broaden the global art horizon of the public. Apart from prioritizing “first in Taiwan,” “cross-sector” and “reciprocal” projects through pro-active planning, joint preparation and independent organization, the KMFA actively develops the organization and utilization of materials of fine arts history in Taiwan and Kaohsiung to progressively establish a rich collection. With the invaluable intangible assets accumulated over time, smart use of limited resources and the need for capacity enhancement and scope expansion, the KMFA will expand its operation capacity and innovate the culture park with the rich exchange outcomes accumulated over the past 24 years and the museum’s expert team to improve living quality and space for the public and equip Kaohsiung with the elements for an international cultural city.
