US EditionA Masterpiece in Metal and Light: Groundbreaking Ceremony for the CMU Museum of Fine Arts Marks a Milestone in Taiwan's Architectural History
- On May 3, 2025, China Medical University broke ground on the CMU Museum of Fine Arts at its Shui-Nan campus in Taichung, Taiwan.
- The project arose from CMU Chairman Dr. Chang-Hai Tsai's vision to extend the university's role beyond education, medicine, and biotechnology into arts and architecture.
- Frank Gehry, a Pritzker Prize laureate and one of the world's most revered architects, designed the museum as his only monumental work in East Asia, inspired by natural reflections on water and steel.
- Gehry's design employs folded metal sheets and softer stainless steel, creating a fluid, shimmering surface that changes color with sun and weather, described as a 'watercolor in motion'.
- The museum aims to become a cultural hub linking Taiwan's university and aesthetic education to the global circuit, elevating Taiwan's cultural voice and enhancing CMU's international reputation.
