New Taipei City Art Museum

Traveler highlights

The San Ying New Land, where New Taipei City Art Museum stands, was already a riverside place for Yingge residents to walk and exercise before construction began. The design, “A Modern Art Museum in a Reed Field,” uses vertical tubular forms of varying heights that echo the reeds along the Dahan River. Ceramic tubes on the inner façade connect the building with Yingge’s pottery craft. The outdoor grounds opened first in 2023, and the museum opened to the public in April 2025. Across the park’s undulating terrain are public artworks including Seed, Opposition and Harmony, Shape and Color, and Sound Traces, along with an open-air theater and a tubular bridge into the grounds. The visit extends beyond the galleries: outdoor art, the riverside setting and the architecture itself all form part of the experience. The ceramic surfaces offer a visible link between the museum and local craft traditions.
