Wu Dengyi Art Museum

Wu Dengyi Art Museum was established in Taipei—the Taipei 101— in 2020. A priest in the Tamsui Historic Site of New Taipei City in 2022, the old site of the guild hall has been restored and will be restored successively since 1875. The completed historic buildings and courtyards were refurbished and revitalized. Our goal is to create an international art platform to enhance global exchange. Based on the above, we also aim to promote and enhance the art and value of contemporary color ink. Based on this, focus on developing the charm of contemporary color ink art and values, to push Taiwanese art into the future.

Wu Dengyi Art Museum｜History and Now

Our present, though being renewed in a different looks, seems to rhyme with our past. In March 1872, the Canadian missionary, Dr. George Leslie Mackay, landed in Tamsui to preach Christianity. In 1875, he started to design two adjacent bungalow ‘Mackay Memorial Museum’ and ‘Missionary House’. Also, he established a modernized school ‘Oxford College’ (the predecessor of Aletheia University). These buildings mixing Eastern and Western elements left the most indelible mark in Tamsui. Through the colonization of many different authorities, Tamsui is no doubt to be the best place that outlines the historical contour of Taiwan and presents the diversity of Taiwanese culture. One hundred and fifty years since Tamsui’s flourishing time, Taiwan Wu Dengyi Art Museum is sited here in Dr Mackay’s ‘Missionary House’. We embark upon renovating it as our art gallery. Wu’s art publications and achievement is going to write a brand new page for this historical building. Our goal is to create an international art platform to enhance global exchange. Based on the above, we also aim to promote and enhance the art and value of contemporary color ink.
