Plans for the Tainan Municipal Tainan Cultural Center commenced in January 1979, as per the Ministry of Education's "Plan to Establish a Municipal Cultural Center". Funding was received from the Council for Cultural Affairs in 2010 for building renovation, including the music hall, exhibition room, library, classroom, lecture room and office. The new cultural center was reopened in June 2011 to provide high quality arts and cultural services in the brand new space.
