The Chiayi Art Museum transformed from an old historical site into a modern art museum. It stands as a new landmark in Chiayi that ingeniously combines historical heritage with aesthetics, symbolizing a venue built upon the art, humanity, and history of Chiayi's foundation as the "Capital of Painting," designed to integrate cultural arts with the daily lives of ordinary people.
The museum is composed of three buildings. Among them, the Historical Building is the Chiayi Branch of the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Monopoly Bureau built in 1936, a modern-style building designed by Suterajiro Umezawa. The Main Building was a liquor warehouse from 1954, and the Side Building was a finished tobacco and liquor product warehouse from 1980.
Through the architectural addition and remodeling direction led by architects Huang Ming-wei and Wang Ming-hsien—focusing on the juxtaposition of the old and the new alongside spatial revitalization—the museum utilizes new materials and construction methods to present exquisite craftsmanship aesthetics. It has become a city art museum closely integrated with the community, allowing the energy of art to radiate, conduct, and extend into ordinary lives and urban corners. The museum's facilities include exhibition halls, an art education area, a multi-functional audio-visual room, a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a gift shop, among other spaces.
