About CMP INSPIRATION Museum of Art
CMP INSPIRATION Museum of Art is a museum created for imagination. It is the first cultural venue in Taiwan designed by international architect Kengo Kuma, opening up the land from the block and guiding the audience into the museum with the design vocabulary of curly arabesque. Through art education, creator support, and international curatorial exhibitions, CMP Museum of Art uses creative translation and cross-border integration to connect art, design, and daily life, inviting everyone to open their imagination together.
About the 2025 Winter Exhibition "Input > Unknown"
CMP Museum of Art invites the Taiwan cross-domain art group WHYIXD, winner of the Italian A'Design Award Platinum Award, to take over, responding to the long-term accumulated "inspiration energy" context of Qinmei Caowu and the core concept of CMP Museum of Art, which has always been to "open up imagination"; This time, with the theme of "light and shadow", technology, perception and imagination are intertwined, inviting the audience to travel through light and shadow to see how inspiration flows, is generated and blooms between the city and daily life.
In the digital language, the command prompt "Input >" waits for the next instruction. This exhibition "Input > Unknown" invites the audience to use their bodies and senses as "input" to personally participate in a perceptual calculation about "Unknown". Curated and created by the cross-domain new media team WHYIXD, combined with the German sound art laboratory KLING KLANG KLONG, the Taiwan visual design team HOUTH, and the artist Chuang Chih-Wei, four creative units jointly construct an immersive exhibition that integrates light, sound, wind, and data to explore the "authenticity" and sensory boundaries of the digital age.

Blew my mind. One of the best exhibits I've been to and i've been to a lot! If you're going to Taichung and this is still ongoing, pleaseee go!
A creative little exhibition with clever and flexible use of space, combining Taichung's local city culture and art, allowing you to cultivate your mind and body while sightseeing.
A new visual experience, open until 9 PM during the Christmas season.
I initially thought it would be a small exhibition, but after careful observation, I could appreciate the creator's dedication. Polarized light, transparent panels, and mirrors combine to create a variety of scenes. Adding explanations would make it easier for the public to understand the principles involved. This type of exhibition isn't suitable for large crowds, or it will turn into a superficial experience. It's a light exhibition that requires you to calm down and savor the details.
I think this is one of the top three most unique exhibitions I've seen in Taichung. Using the small mirror yourself creates a highly immersive experience. I recommend it for couples, families, and good friends!
"Sea Realm" is a section I really enjoyed. Sitting in the dark and watching the flow of light is very calming and allows you to feel yourself. I spent almost 15 minutes in this section alone and highly recommend it!!
Buying your CMP Block Museum of Arts tickets on Klook is a huge plus for those who like to "book in advance and skip the line."
Hahahahaha funny... These... These... Here... Here... Is this okay...? Can't we really do it like this anymore?
A rich visual feast... It's great to work with friends and see your own work among the exhibits! Worth seeing and sharing again.
Very fun and suitable for dates, plus there's a Christmas tree nearby.
