The Ministry of Culture of Taiwan (Republic of China) was established on May 20, 2012 to oversee and cultivate Taiwan’s soft power in the areas of arts and humanities, community development, crafts industry, cultural exchanges, international cultural participation, heritage, literature and publishing, living aesthetics, TV, cinema, and pop music.

The Ministry currently operates 16 overseas cultural centers and offices. The centers’ main mission is to introduce the culture and arts of Taiwan to international audiences. In addition to organizing exhibitions and performances for Taiwanese artists, the centers also play a significant role in facilitating cultural exchange programs and collaboration between Taiwan and other countries.
