◆Art centers and exhibition halls: Various art exhibitions are held regularly, providing free aesthetic feasts for faculty, staff, students and the community.
◆Maritime Museum: It is a member of the International Association of Maritime Museums, displaying ship models of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries. The exhibition space also has various themed exhibitions about the environment, local culture and history, and students' learning outcomes, conveying concepts such as environmental protection, marine and aesthetic education.
◆Gallery of Tamkang History and the Founder Dr. Clement C. P. Chang’s Memorial Hall: Established in 1961, the building was formerly a gathering and reception place for VIPs and alumni of the university. In 2020, it was renovated under the initiative of the alumni association. The first floor is the school history museum, and the second is the memorial hall for the founder Dr. Clement C. P. Chang. It actively collects, archives, and organizes important documents and cultural relics and organizes public display and promotion activities to present the origin of the school's development and changes, highlighting the contribution of the school and the alumni to Taiwan's higher education and social progress. In 2022, the museum was open for 218 days and had 3,004 visitors. There were 37 reserved guided tours with 634 participants. To enhance the visibility of the University History Museum and increase visitor numbers, aligning with the university's cyber campus development, the "Tamkang University Virtual History Museum" was designed in November 2022. Created using the Gather Town remote platform, it integrates physical and digital exhibits. It offers a virtual display and learning space that fosters a sense of belonging for Tamkang faculty, students, alumni, and visitors. The platform allows 24/7 online browsing and exploration, providing insights into the university's history and the achievements of founder Dr. Clement C. P. Chang, thereby increasing awareness and affiliation with the university. On May 25, 2023, the Office of Quality Assurance and Audit, the Center for Sustainable Development and Social Innovation, and the Chueh Sheng Memorial Library jointly held the "5th Anniversary Memorial Seminar for Founder Dr. Clement C. P. Chang: ESG and Campus Sustainable Governance." The event featured 4 keynote speeches and 2 forums, helping faculty and staff understand the organizational culture of TQM (Total Quality Management). This foundation supports the university's efforts in promoting the 3 main aspects of sustainable development: "Environmental Sustainability," "Social Harmony," and "University Governance," which are key to ensuring continued success
