    I came for an exhibition, but the building itself is a special attraction! It was a police station and has been somewhat renovated and turned into an art museum. I love the style of the building and enjoy bathing in the weaving web of summer sunlights and shadow. If you’re looking for something of the Renaissance, I would suggest you to go to Europe. Here in Taiwan, there may not be abundant art types or flourishing era of art, but there is unique local culture that’s specific to this island. To me, this museum is worth visiting a thousand times just to have a relaxing afternoon in a time-intertwined space!

    (Translated by Google) After the renovation of Tainan City’s Old Police Headquarters, Hall 1 of the Taiwan-American Museum, the entire historic building has been repaired without losing the Japanese architectural style. The traces of the years can be seen everywhere, and the taste of time can be smelled. In the atrium, there is a century-old banyan tree straight up to the sky, with dense foliage and full of vitality; sitting under the tree at the umbrella cafe is a standard daze place, which seems to allow people to quietly absorb the energy of the tree, and is a must-visit place for the youth. The interior not only retains the feeling of the original monuments and buildings, of course, there will be art exhibition halls with art exhibitions, and an exhibition hall is opened upstairs, which specially preserves many cultural relics of the old police station. It also explains the entire reconstruction process, so that the whole The space is more diversified. What is shown here is that history and modernity can be integrated with each other, and can also be interpreted separately. As long as the design is properly designed, there will be no feeling of incompatibility, and they can set off each other's characteristics. (Original) 台南市舊警察總局改建而成的臺美館1館,整棟古蹟建築維修後亦不失日式建築風格,處處亦可見歲月的痕跡,嗅的出時間的味道。 中庭有棵百年老榕樹直上天際,枝葉繁密、生機盎然;坐在樹下洋傘咖啡座,是標準的發呆處,似乎讓人靜靜吸收著大樹的能量,是為文青必定造訪之處。 內部不僅保留了原有古蹟建築的感覺,當然會有藝術展廳放置了藝術品展覽,更在樓上開了個展廳,特地保存了許多舊時警察局的文物,也說明了整個改建過程,讓整個空間更加多元化。 在這裡表現出來的是歷史與現代是可以相互融合,也可各自解讀,只要設計得宜就不會有格格不入的感覺,更能互相襯托出各自的特色。

    (Translated by Google) The location chosen by Zhiling's sister for her wedding is a fusion of elegance and classicism from Europe and the Japanese period. I really like this colorful tile work. In addition, I have to say that this predecessor was the building of the Police Agency. The large trees in the courtyard, the fan-shaped surveillance space, the reuse of paint colors, and the choice of stores are all well maintained and selected. The true appearance of the past has been presented with new-generation decorations, just like Tainan’s urban heritage that combines the old and the new. The small exhibition inside, the interaction between faith and art is very surprising. It is worthwhile to sit down and experience the beautiful atmosphere of the attraction. (Original) 志玲姐姐婚禮選的地點,有種融合歐洲及日據時期的優雅及古典。很喜歡這面繽紛的磁磚作品。 另外,不得不說,這前身是警察廳的建築,院裡的大樹、室內扇形的監視空間、油漆色調的重新運用、店家的選擇,都維護、挑選得極好。過往真實樣貌的呈現,又加入了新世代的裝潢,如同台南新舊融合的城市底蘊。 裡面的小展覽,信仰與藝術的相互作用很令人驚喜❤️值得坐下來感受一下美好氛圍的景點。

    (Translated by Google) The old and new buildings have different styles in different eras, but they can be perfectly combined to become a unique Tainan Art Museum. The atrium garden of the first museum is also one of the wedding banquet venues of the first famous model Lin Chiling. It is also hosted by Chiling's sister. Adopt an atrium garden. The glass curtain design is used between the new and old buildings, which can bring in a lot of natural light and make the space more transparent. (Original) 新舊建築不同時代不同風格,卻能完美的結合在一起,成為別具特色的台南美術館,一館的中庭花園也正是日前第一名模林志玲的婚宴場地之一,目前也是由志玲姊姊認養中庭花園。新舊建築之間採用玻璃帷幕設計,能引進大量的自然光線,也讓空間更具通透感。

    (Translated by Google) It is reported that Tainan Art Museum No. 1 Hall, Forest Department Store, Taipei Songyan, and Hsinchu Monopoly are all works by Umezawa Shajiro. They belong to the historical relics of Western-style buildings in the Japanese Occupation era, full of art, simplicity and tranquility. The famous model Lin Chiling and the stray brother AKIRA held a warm and elegant wedding under the banyan tree. The marriage between Taiwan and Japan that echoes the architecture is of special significance. Especially the big banyan tree is named after "Sister Zhiling’s Happiness Garden". It is decorated with colorful flowers in all seasons. She permanently adopts the wedding venue in the atrium garden, and shares its romance and sweetness with the world with the beauty of spring, which is even more of Tainan Art Museum. Bring eternal happiness legend. (Original) 據悉,台南美術館一館及林百貨、台北松菸、新竹專賣所都是梅澤捨次郎的作品,屬於日治時代的洋樓古蹟,充滿藝文與古樸寧靜。名模林志玲與放浪兄弟 AKIRA在榕樹下辦了一場溫馨優雅的婚禮,與建築呼應的台日聯姻別具意義。特別是大榕樹以‘志玲姐姐的幸福花園‘命名,四季都妝點得五彩繽紛繁花似錦,她永久認養這中庭花園的婚禮場地,以春色滿園與世人分享其浪漫甜蜜,更為台南美術館帶永恆的幸福傳奇。

    (Translated by Google) The Tainan Art Museum is transformed from an old police station with more than 80 years of history. Although it has been renovated, it still retains the traditional architectural flavor. The atrium also has a towering old banyan tree, an old clothes that faded away from the old icy tips. An old building with an elegant Japanese style. (Original) 台南美術館一館由有80多年歷史的舊警察局改建而成,雖經整修,但仍保有傳統建築風味,中庭還有棵高聳參天的老榕樹,一處褪去昔日冰冷衙門的舊衣,滿溢日本時代優雅風情的老建築。

    I was more impressed by the prices of the museum cafe and the girth of the banyan tree in the center of the museum building than anything the museum houses, but this is pretty good as far as public art collections go.

    Very good museum in art deco brick 1930s building with several exhibitions and a nice cafe. The buildung was converted from a police station. The area is a good one for walking around, as near many cultural sites and the wonderful Lily Fruit Cafe founded in 1947, where you can get freshly squeezed juices including pomelo plus little local restaurants and a temple.

    I like the building structure. It’s so beautiful. The building is an old building that surround with art works. You can spend quite some times to walk around with the building enjoy the art work. There is a place located in the centre of the building. The place is so nice to take a lot photos. They have 2 buildings. One is old building and the another is new building. You will need to buy ticket to enter both of the buildings.

    (Translated by Google) It was originally the Tainan City Police Station. It was completed in 1931. It was designed by Tainan Civil Engineering Division Technician Umezawa Shejiro. It is an eclectic Art Deco style building. Designated as a monument in 1998, it is one of the police station buildings still preserved in the country. In order to reinforce the exhibition space, three floors above ground and one underground floor are added behind the historic building. The new and old buildings are connected by a central corridor, and the light and shadow changes give people a unique sensory experience. From the end of 2020 to April 2021, the "Reproduce the Legend-Hong Tong Centenary Exhibition" will be exhibited. On November 17, 2019, Taiwan’s No. 1 model Lin Chi-ling and the Japanese boy group "EXILE" stray brothers AKIRA held a wedding at Tainan Art Museum 1, including guest lists and souvenirs, which became the focus of Taiwan’s attention. After that, the wedding atrium was also adopted by Lin Chiling and became the happiness garden of Chiling's sister. (Original) 原為臺南市警察署,於 1931 年落成,由臺南州土木課營繕技師梅澤捨次郎設計,為折衷主義裝飾藝術式樣 (Art Deco) 風格建築。1998 年被指定為古蹟,是國內仍保存的警察署建築之一。為補強展示空間,於古蹟建築體後方增建地上三層、地下一層之建築,由中央廊道連接起新舊建築,透過光影變化讓人有獨特感官經驗。2020年底至2021四月展出「再現傳奇 — 洪通百歲紀念展」。 2019年11月17日,台灣第一名模林志玲與日本男團「EXILE」放浪兄弟成員AKIRA,在台南美術館1館舉辦婚禮,包括賓客名單、伴手禮等也成為全台關注焦點。之後婚禮中庭也由林志玲認養,成為志玲姐姐的幸福花園。
