Yilan Museum of Art, Art museum in Yilan City, Taiwan.
The Yilan Museum of Art is an art museum in Yilan City with exhibition spaces across multiple levels, each dedicated to a specific theme. The spaces are organized around the natural characteristics of the region - mountains, plains, and ocean.
The building began as a Bank of Taiwan branch in the early 1900s and served as an important sign of economic activity in the city. After damage during World War II and reconstruction in the 1940s, it was converted into an art museum in 2014.
The museum displays works by regional artists and showcases their creative expressions through rotating exhibitions. These works reflect how local creators perceive and respond to their surroundings and heritage.
The museum is easy to reach as it sits near Wushigang Harbour in an accessible area. Visiting during daylight hours helps you enjoy the natural light in the galleries and get the most from the thematic spaces.
The museum is built on a pyramid layout where visitors begin at the top level and work their way down through the galleries. This inverted exploration path creates an unusual experience as you encounter the exhibitions from an unexpected vantage point.
