Travelogue of Taipei Contemporary Art Museum

The Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is conveniently located in the Zhongshan shopping district, easily accessible on foot, making it a great destination. The admission fee is only 100 TWD, which is hard to resist. For those who prefer not to pay, the museum also offers a free exhibition open to the public, providing even more reasons to visit.

When purchasing tickets, note that the Taipei Contemporary Art Museum currently does not accept credit cards or Apple Pay—only cash payments are allowed, so be sure to prepare in advance. Once inside, I was deeply captivated by the "World Journal" exhibition, especially the work "Encountering the Inner Alien" by Zhan Honglu. This piece encourages viewers to imagine and contemplate the appearance of extraterrestrial beings. Through AI guidance, participants can create and visualize their inner alien forms.

This interactive experience is incredibly engaging, allowing visitors not only to unleash their creativity but also to delve deeper into their inner world. Such an exhibition format is highly inspiring and definitely worth trying.

Additionally, the currently open free exhibition is Peter Cook's "City and Mountain." His works explore the balance between architecture and nature, as well as visions of the future, highlighting the close connection between art and the environment.

Overall, the Taipei Contemporary Art Museum is a place brimming with creativity and inspiration. Whether you opt for the paid exhibitions or the free ones, you are sure to enjoy a rich artistic experience. It’s absolutely worth a visit.
