The FJCU Catholic Museum was founded on February 4, 1988 by Archbishop Stanislaus Lokuang, second president of Fu Jen Catholic University after its re-founding in Taiwan. With a comprehensive knowledge about museum management and avid interests in art, Archbishop Lokuang considered that the university must shoulder the responsibility of collecting and preserving Catholic art works and cultural artifacts. For him, establishing a gallery showcasing items related to the Church and its history is one way of promoting evangelization. The Catholic Museum was thus established at Fu Jen Catholic University.
In 1990, after the expansion of Paul Cardinal Yu Pin Administration Building, the Museum was allotted a floor space of 500 square meters. The Museum has since then become a must for visitors to the university.
The Catholic Museum is the biggest Catholic Museum in Taiwan. Major sources of this rich collection in the Museum include donations from His Eminence Paul Cardinal Yu Pin, the Divine Word Missionaries and the Congregatio Discipulorum Domini, with the bulk coming from Archbishop Stanislaus Lokuang. There are also art works and items purchased by the museum.
The collection of the Museum can be grouped into the following main categories: Concise Biographies of Church Dignitaries, Mass Vestments, Altar Vessels, Missals and Liturgical Books, Historical Documents of the Catholic Church, Paintings, Needlework and more.
Photography, recording, Smoking and eating are forbidden in the Exhibition area. We thank you for your kind cooperation.
