Central News Agency (Pingtung County, April 27) - The Pingtung County Museum of Fine Arts, which opened one month ago, has attracted over 100,000 visitors to the Pingtung Tobacco Cultural Base 1936, demonstrating its cultural appeal. To sustain this momentum, the Pingtung County Government will collaborate with France's Musée du quai Branly for a special exhibition focused on "sculptures," slated to open by the end of this year.
According to a press release from the County's Cultural Affairs Department today, the Pingtung County Museum of Fine Arts, located within the Pingtung Tobacco Cultural Base 1936, opened on March 28. Its initial offerings included two main exhibitions: the Japanese contemporary art exhibition "When Flowers Bloom" and the local collection exhibition "Dazhongkannan Coast." These exhibitions received rave reviews, driving the total visitor count for the entire park to over 100,000 and showcasing the museum's cultural drawing power.
The Cultural Affairs Department mentioned that "When Flowers Bloom" features works by 16 renowned Japanese artists. Not only was the exhibition itself a major draw, but related merchandise also sold out rapidly. The inventory, initially expected to last 1 to 2 months, was completely sold out in less than 3 days, sparking a boom in viewing and collecting.
As the opening fervor of the County Museum of Fine Arts continues, subsequent international exhibitions are highly anticipated. The Cultural Affairs Department stated that from the end of this year to early next year, a special exhibition focusing on "sculptures" will be launched in collaboration with France's Musée du quai Branly, continuously expanding Pingtung's cultural horizons and international connections.
In addition to exhibitions, the County Museum of Fine Arts also deepens engagement through diverse activities, integrating art into daily life. The "Pingtung Art Flash Series Workshops" combine physical movement, fashion aesthetics, and drama, offering aesthetic experiences at different levels for teenagers, families, and seniors.
The Cultural Affairs Department indicated that the museum's opening has attracted pilgrimage-like crowds, and the visitor demographic is noticeably younger, showing that the museum is gradually becoming an important venue for attracting younger generations to art. Furthermore, the "Pingtung Heart" IP special exhibition in Warehouse No. 8 of Pingtung Tobacco Cultural Base, appealing to young people with popular subculture vocabulary, along with diverse cross-ethnic exhibitions in the Hakka and Indigenous Peoples halls, has prompted many out-of-town tourists to visit Pingtung specifically for these exhibitions. This transforms artistic energy into momentum for cultural tourism, thereby driving the cultural output value of the entire city. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150427
