Taiwan art museum - Taichung city, Taiwan





This is a museum of fine arts i visited during my visit to Taiwan. Taichung is one of the major cities in Taiwan, the city has really wide roads and the streets are literally covered with trees just like the city of Taipei, it is just 1.5 hours bus ride from Taipei. It is quite cheap, the ride cost only about 150-200 nt dollars (5-6.6 dollars). Upon reaching Taichung take a taxi to theTaiwan art museum. The entrance is free, once inside one can rent a small locker to deposit your bags for around 10 nt dollar (about 30 cents). Here you can enjoy local taiwan art, as well as art about an earthquake that killed 3000 people almost ten years ago, this reminds the people of Taiwan to build even stronger buildings for the future generations. Like Japan, Taiwan also has a lot of earthquakes, so it is quite common to experience several strong earthquakes per year. Museums are common throughout taichung, be sure to visit the natural science museum and others too while staying in Taichung. The museum have huge grounds and is a great place for families to have picnic.
