History

The museum building was built during the Japanese rule in 1921 for what later became Jiànchéng Elementary School, which now occupies a new structure on the back of the historical building. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, it hosted the Taipei City Government and became an important landmark, thanks to its highly recognizable symmetrical building and belltower in historic style. After the city government had moved to the new location in Xinyi district, it was designated as a historical building, and re-opened on 27 May 2001 as Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei (MOCA Taipei), as the first museum in Taiwan to be dedicated exclusively to contemporary art.^{[citation needed]}

In 2021 MOCA director Loh Li-chen caused a scandal in the Taiwanese art world by making a xenophobic post on Facebook.[1]

Exhibitions

While showcasing mainly contemporary Taiwanese art, under director Shih Jui-jen its activities have become increasingly international. In 2009, it organized a solo show of Taiwanese artist Yang Maolin as a pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In 2009 and 2010 it collaborated with MoCA Shanghai, Today Art Museum Beijing and Guangdong Museum of Art in the organization of the Animamix Biennial.[2]

Hours of operation

The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is closed on Mondays.[3]

Transportation

The museum is accessible within walking distance South West from Zhongshan Station of the Taipei Metro.

Il occupe l'avant d'un bâtiment construit en 1921 au cours de la période de l'occupation japonaise, qui abrita tout d'abord l'école primaire Jan Cheng occupant aujourd'hui une structure à l'arrière de l'édifice historique. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a accueilli le gouvernement de la ville de Taipei et est devenu un point de repère important grâce à sa construction symétrique très reconnaissable et son clocher de style historiciste. Après que la municipalité s'est déplacée à son emplacement actuel dans le quartier de Xinyi, il a été classé édifice historique et a rouvert ses portes en mai 2001 en tant que Musée d'Art Contemporain de Taipei (MOCA Taipei), le premier musée de Taiwan dédié exclusivement à l'art contemporain.
