The Fangyuan Art Museum (traditional Chinese: 方圓美術館; simplified Chinese: 方圆美术馆; pinyin: Fāngyuán Měishùguǎn) is an art museum in Xihua Borough, Jiangjun District, Tainan, Taiwan.

History

The museum building was originally constructed in 1944 as Sui Garden, the residence of the first mayor of Jiangjun Township, Huang Qing-wu.[1] Later, he turned it into the Suisheng Clinic. In 2008, the building was purchased by an entrepreneur, Lin Chen-feng. He then rebuilt it to be a museum of fine arts.[2]

Architecture

The building is a mix of Taiwanese and Western architectural styles featuring a 4-section compound with corridors and winding, arched cloisters. The front section of the building was built in a Western architectural style, and the back section is connected to Sanheyuan.[2]

Exhibitions

The museum displays pottery and porcelain, which were commonly used in early Taiwan.[2]
