The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung is free, so I sort of figured there wouldn’t be too much to see.  I couldn’t have been more wrong; it’s a huge museum with a very impressive, varied collection of art.  If you’re in Taichung, it’s a must-visit.

There’s an amazing amount of variety here.  There’s puzzling modern art:

They even currently have some temporary exhibits in conjunction with other museums, such as this exhibit of classical European art from Tainan’s Chimei Museum:

It’s a great museum; I don’t know how they manage to keep it free, but I’m certainly not complaining.

LocationNo. 2號, Section 1, Wuquan West Road, West District, Taichung City, Taiwan 403

How to find it: It’s an absolutely colossal building.  There’s no possible way you can miss it.
