Introduction
A contemporary art museum situated among common reeds
Constructed on an extensive elevated riverbank of the Dahan River, the New Taipei City Art Museum is designed with several spaces, including the main building, children's art museum, "The Pavilion", "Creative Cluster", "West Lawn", and "Sanying Spatial Art District". The Museum has departed from enclosed architectural design to transform the museum campus into an open and interactive art settlement by integrating an open space with the riverscape.
Sanying Spatial Art District
The outdoor area features several public artworks integrated with Yingge’s ceramic art culture. The most prominent among them is a 15-meter-high orange-red installation art resembling a coil-formed unfired clay, symbolizing the inception of pottery-making. When stepping inside, one can feel the sunlight filtering through the top of this artwork, instantly imparting a sense of divinity to the entire site. By ascending the spiral staircase to the top, visitors can also behold the landscapes of Yingge and Sanxia from a distance. Adjacent to the campus is the Dahan River's left bank bikeway, which, along with the Sanying MRT line currently under construction, further connects and facilitates cultural exchange within the Sanying area.
