MOCA MUSEUM FREE ENTRANCE SERIES

This smaller exhibit is always just as interesting as the main exhibit, and it is housed in a space to the right as you enter the museum. If that weren’t enough, there is a small gift shop, the Artco de Café coffee shop, and usually a second smaller exhibit that is free and open to everyone. There are also informative placards about the art and the artists, and these are in Chinese and English. There are volunteers strategically placed around MOCA to keep things under control and answer any questions you may have. Photography, however, is allowed and you are free to bring in your cameras and snap away to your heart’s content. Knapsacks are not allowed inside (a wise policy considering the sometimes tight and dark spaces you have to navigate), but there are free lockers available in the lobby. It’s really the bargain of the century, and for your NT$50 you get a one-of-a-kind ticket, which is specially designed to match the nature of the exhibit on display. The entrance fee of NT$50 (children under six – free) is extremely reasonable. Every time you turn a corner, you find something new and exciting. They utilize open spaces, the hallways, individual small rooms, some medium-size rooms, a couple of large spaces on the second floor, and even the stairwells.

The exhibits are always interesting and the art is spread out over two floors in a series of interesting spaces. MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, is right around the corner from where I live, so I headed there first.

The streak of rainy weather is continuing in Taipei, so I figured it was a good time to drop in on a couple of museums.
