The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA; traditional Chinese: 國立臺灣美術館; simplified Chinese: 国立台湾美术馆; pinyin: Guólì Táiwān Měishùguǎn) is a museum in West District, Taichung, Taiwan. NTMoFA was established in 1988 and is the first and the only national-grade fine arts museum in Taiwan. The major collections are works by Taiwanese artists, covering modern and contemporary Taiwanese arts.[2] The museum covers 102,000 square meters, including the Public Outdoor Sculpture park, making it one of the largest museums in Asia.

National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts was temporarily closed for renovation in 1999 due to damages caused by the 921 Earthquake and reopened in July 2004. From 2011 to 2016, NTMoFA attracted more than 1 million visitors each year.
