The FANG-YUAN Art Museum (traditional Chinese: 方圓美術館; simplified Chinese: 方圆美术馆; pinyin: Fāngyuán Měishùguǎn) is an art museum in Xihua Borough, Jiangjun District, Tainan, Taiwan.
The museum building was originally constructed in 1944 as the Suisheng Clinic of Huang Ching-wu, the former head of township in the area. In 2008, the building was purchased by an entrepreneur Lin Chen-feng. He then rebuilt it to be a museum of fine arts.[1]
The building is a mixture of Taiwanese and Western architectural styles featuring the 4-section compound with corridors and arched winding cloisters. The front section of the building was constructed with Western architectural style and the back section is connected to Sanheyuan.[1]
The museums displays pottery and porcelain which are commonly used in the early days of Taiwan.[1]
