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]
