The Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, also known as KMFA, is a contemporary art museum in Gushan District, on the western side of Kaohsiung City in southern Taiwan. Its collection and programme focus on modern and contemporary art, with works by Taiwanese and international artists.
What to expect
The museum is housed in a building with a distinctive architectural design, and many visitors come as much for the setting as for the art inside. The galleries host rotating exhibitions, so what you see on one visit may differ from the last, and it is worth checking what is on before you travel.
