Most art galleries in Taipei are free to visit and cluster in six areas — Xinyi, the Dunhua Road area of the East District, Da’an, Neihu, Dazhi and Gongguan. Visit one area at a time and check opening hours and booking rules before you go. This guide covers where Taipei’s galleries are, how to visit, how collecting works, and how to visit Neverland Gallery.
What is an art gallery?
A gallery exhibits and represents artists: it curates shows, introduces artists and helps collectors acquire works. Unlike a museum, which focuses on its collection and education, gallery works are usually available to collect and exhibitions change often. Read more in What is an art gallery?
Where to find galleries in Taipei
- Xinyi: around Taipei 101, Fubon Art Museum and Songshan Cultural Park. Neverland Gallery is near Yongchun Station and pairs well with Fubon Art Museum (galleries near Fubon Art Museum).
- Dunhua Road, East District: from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to Dunhua North and South Roads — the densest gallery area, often upstairs or down side lanes.
- Da’an, Neihu (Ruiguang Road), Dazhi and Treasure Hill: each with its own character, worth a dedicated trip.

Collecting art at a gallery
If a work speaks to you, ask the gallery about size, medium, edition and certificate; galleries also help with packing, delivery and hanging. See How to collect your first artwork at a gallery, and preview a work on your own wall with Art in Your Room.
