Taichung Mass Rapid Transit (TMRT) has partnered with the Sunshine Culture and Arts Foundation to organize the European Architecture Photography Exhibition at the art corridors of Songzhu, City Hall, and Wuri MRT stations. Running until December 17, the exhibition features photographs from 30 years ago, capturing the timeless beauty of renowned landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and the Colosseum. Visitors can enjoy a visual journey through Europe, taking a moment to admire and reflect on the splendor of historical architecture.

Chu Lai-shun, president of TMRT, noted that in today’s fast-paced urban lifestyle, the MRT not only offers a convenient and eco-friendly transportation option for Taichung but also serves as a key medium for advancing cultural aesthetics in the city. This photography exhibition aspires to enrich the commuting experience by bringing the majestic beauty of European architecture closer to everyday life—something that once seemed distant. It allows culture to flow through Taichung via the MRT and art to integrate into the lives of its citizens.

According to TMRT, the European Architecture Photography Exhibition is being held at three MRT stations until December 17, with each station presenting a unique theme. City Hall Station features Roman, Milanese, and Greek architecture, Songzhu Station features the ancient Pompeii and the religious Vatican City, while Wuri Station features the cultural splendor of Spain, France, Switzerland, and Austria. Commuters are invited to take a moment to slow down and appreciate the graceful lines of the Eiffel Tower, the regal aura of Madrid’s Royal Palace, the majesty of the Colosseum, the historical traces of ancient Pompeii, the Gothic elegance of Milan Cathedral, and the magnificent ruins of the Acropolis of Athens.

TMRT reported a record-breaking ridership in November, and with the growing number of passengers, the art corridors in its stations are poised to draw more visitors. These art corridors aim to serve as vital platforms for cultural promotion, highlighting not only the transportation functionality of the MRT but also its cultural value.
