- The inaugural show, A Call of All Beings, pairs international works with Taiwanese artists and historical sketches.
- The project emphasizes local Taichung artists and inclusive access, including artists with disabilities.
- Taichung officials expect international press and visitors as the museum opens to the public in December.
- Taichung aims to decentralize Taiwan’s art scene and boost regional visibility beyond Taipei.
- The museum’s design and programming reflect a commitment to multi-disciplinary experiences and audience expansion.
