The Palace Museum was inaugurated on October 10, 1925. Preserving 7000 years of Chinese cultural legacy with advanced technologies, and cooperating with private connoisseurs and ushering in exhibitions from the Mainland, the Palace Museum brings its collection to the global community while introducing the arts of the world to the Taiwanese audience.

Cultural relics represent the synthesis of wisdom and experience of the forbears. While their preservation is of the utmost importance, it is equally imperative that their artistic and historical significance be explored through continuous research and that their aesthetic beauty be introduced to the public at large

Ceramic is closely related with human life and culture. Different features of ceramic culture developed from different families and different people. The uncovering of Taiwan pre-history ceramic and the aboriginal ceramic figurines and pots confirms the independence of Taiwan Culture. The immigrants from Mainland China in the past 400 years followed the ceramic skills of China. The Japanese ceramic techniques were brought in during the Japanese Colonial Period and the western industrial techniques and the development and renovation of modern fuels plus the imported raw materials were introduced after the restoration of Taiwan. The development of Taiwan ceramic was characterized by these changes, while the Ceramic Museum was born in the 20th century. It is located in the center of ceramic industry, Yingge Town. It unveils a historical page of Taiwanese ceramic development.

National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, formerly known as the Taiwan museum of Art, was founded in 1988. During the initial period, it was under the Taiwan Provincial Government. In 1999, it came under the supervision of the Council of Cultural Affairs, Executive Yuan, and became Taiwan's only national museum of fine arts. In the same year, the 921 Earthquake shook the country and, for the following 5 years, the NTMFA underwent reconstruction. On July 3, 2004, the museum reopened its doors to the public. The NTMFA is a departure from fine art museums of the bygone era, whose image tends to be stern and serious. Today, at the dawn of the 21st century, the museum space is at once open and intimate. It serves as a venue for artistic, academic and recreational activities.

the arts in Taiwan, to collect important local works of art, to
establish thematic display rooms, to engage in the study and
classification of regional art, and to fulfill the functions of collection,
exhibition, research, and education. It is hoped that the museum will
achieve the goals of localizing international art and globalizing
local art.
