Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum Tourism

Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum is located in Taibao City, Chiayi County, Taiwan. It serves as a cultural and artistic center representing the diverse heritage of Asia with particular focus on art and artifacts of the Chinese culture. Opened in December 2015, this museum branch was created as part of an effort to equalize cultural resources across Taiwan. Spread over a vast area, the museum's architecture is a blend of modern design with traditional Chinese elements. The collection showcases a range of exhibits, from ancient Chinese artifacts to contemporary art, aiming to foster cultural exchanges and to narrate the story of Taiwan's historical development. Unlike its counterpart in Taipei, the Southern Branch has a focus on Asian art and cultures, striving to integrate different cultural aspects from across the region. It's a place where visitors can indulge in educational programs, innovative exhibitions, and international exchanges. The museum campus is also environmentally friendly, with green building concepts in mind, making it both a cultural and ecological landmark.
