台北當代藝術館

台北當代藝術館這棟建築物乃建於西元1921年，原為日治時期專供日本人子弟受教育的「建成小學校」。這棟面寬達120公尺的兩層樓建築，以亞熱帶文化的紅磚壁構與木材屋架，結合西方文明的建築柱式與黑瓦斜屋頂，加上兩側入口為山牆形式的廂廊，整體構成了U字型的校舍建築與空間。

1945年後，台灣進入中華民國時代，原建成小學校舍被轉用為新成立的台北市政府辦公廳舍，直至1994年台北市政府遷入信義區仁愛路的新市政中心為止，在這段將近五十年的時間，這棟建築物扮演了驅動台北市政建設的一個神經中樞角色。

1996年，台北市政府舊廈被指定為市定古蹟，並基於古蹟再利用的政策方案，將原建物之正面廳舍修復整建為「台北當代藝術館」專用，兩翼部分建築則劃歸為建成國中教室。「台北當代藝術館」與「建成國中」新校的結合，不僅創造了全世界罕見美術館與學校使用共同建物的先例，也被視為是台北市孔廟到保安宮這一條歷史文化軸線的延展，帶動了大同區整體再發展的一個新契機。

從市定古蹟的台北舊市府，經活化再利用後而成立的台北當代藝術館，在國內藝術界長期的關注之下，於2001年5月26日璀璨開幕，其儼然成為台北人文地圖上的新地標。台北市這幾年來積極讓市內古蹟活起來，讓古老的空間以不同的變貌走進市民生活，進而帶動街區藝術再造，台北當代藝術館是一個實際的例子。

當代藝術基金會經歷二屆董事會後，於2007年12月31日與市府簽署的委任合約屆滿。故台北當代藝術館便於2008年1月1日起，交由台北市文化基金會負責營運。新的經營團隊除了依循著過去七年來當代館所凝聚的藝術動能之外，還努力於匯集更多海內外的關懷注目，並結合官方力量，有效整合各類文化創意產業。而台北當代藝術館是為台北市藝文發展的一個重要據點，將提供更具互動性且整合度強的展覽平台，以鼓勵多元風貌的藝術創作與呈現，並藉此開拓出具前瞻性的新文化思維，期能提供當代城市發動源源不絕的豐沛創意活力。 This building is the Museum of Contemporary Art was built in 1921, was originally designed for the Japanese during the Japanese occupation of children to education "completed elementary school."
