Welcome to Bai Win Collections — objects with histories worth discovering. Based in Taipei, Bai Win Collections brings together more than 6,000 works of art, antiques and cultural objects collected in Taiwan and across Asia over more than five decades.
Discover Taiwan and East Asia through art, antiques and the objects people lived with. More than an antiques collection, Bai Win explores the histories behind the objects: who made them, how they were used, what their imagery meant and what they reveal about the societies that produced them.
