The Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts is located in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City. Geographically, it is situated northeast of Shoushan Mountain, with Zuoying District to the north, Sanmin District to the east, and Love River flowing through the south. Originally, it was an area filled with ponds and wetlands, known as Neiweipi Wetland. After being transformed into the first public art museum in southern Taiwan, it has become the most important center for art exhibitions and promotion in the southern region.
In 2017, it was restructured as a municipal professional cultural institution under the jurisdiction of the Kaohsiung City Government, continuing to cultivate local culture and collect works by Taiwanese artists. Each year, through events like the "Kaohsiung Awards" and "KS Kaohsiung Experimental Field," it supports emerging artists by showcasing their work. In addition to curating themed exhibitions and artist research displays, it is also dedicated to collaborating and exchanging with world-class museums. By introducing various large-scale international exhibitions, it provides the public with a wider and more diverse range of options for experiencing contemporary art.
