“It's a pretty small modern art museum but tickets only cost 50NTD. Tickets can be purchased at the self-service kiosk near the entrance.
Nice architecture, both outside and in.
Lockers available near the entrance if you need it.”

“What a pleasant surprise. This former distillery is now a modern art museum. Inspiring installations, and also nice to walk around and admire the fusion of modern and old architecture. Very friendly staff and quiet place to spend some time.”

“The museum is new and the structure was impressive for a small city. However, the museum lacks exhibits. The open space is overpowering the limited exhibition spaces on each floor. Overall it is a cute place to visit, and hopefully, the place will have more contents in the near future.”
