This study takes the NCCU Very Fun Park exhibit, collaboratively carried out by the NCCU Art and Culture Center and the Fubon Art Foundation in Taiwan, as its primary object of investigation. Using archive analysis and participant observation, this study aims to map out the cooperative strategies between two institutions in transforming the Very Fun Park into the NCCU Very Fun Park on the National Chengchi University campus. In addition, it uses audience surveys to gauge the success of this collaborative effort. The results of this study show the benefits and specific positive results of collaboration between a university art center and outside foundation. This case study can serve as a reference guide for other universities under budget restraints hoping to combine resources with an outside institution; through the concept of the “wall-less museum,” NCCU successfully transformed the Very Fun Park into its own experiential aesthetic education project for students and the public.
