Unique Architecture of Lanyang Museum Taiwan
Exterior Architecture of the Building
It's no coincidence that Lanyang Museum Taiwan has been the pride of Yilan City for many years. This place is the masterpiece of timeless architecture designed by architect Kris Yao's team.

Not only that, but the museum's roof is inclined at about 20 degrees, and the walls are made entirely of steel, sloping up to 70 degrees. This creates a special, impressive light effect for the entire building. From the museum's highest point, you can admire the serene lakes and distant reed fields. All of these elements contribute to a harmonious scene between nature and humanity.
Interior Architecture of the Building
Lanyang Museum comprises a total of 4 floors. Among them, 3 floors are dedicated to permanent exhibitions, while the ground floor serves as a space for temporary exhibitions that change according to different themes. The exhibition area of Lanyang Museum Taiwan is a re-creation of the life, people, nature, and culture of Yilan City.

If you pay close attention, you'll easily notice that Yilan City experiences a year-round rainy climate. Therefore, you shouldn't be too surprised if you encounter heavy rain upon arriving here. Furthermore, Yilan City is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and boasts an endless coastline. Hence, it's no wonder that the Ocean area receives the most grandiose investment in the museum.

Fishing is also a popular activity in Yilan City. The reason why people love fishing so much is because the Kuroshio Current brings abundant nutrients to marine life. Therefore, seafood in Yilan City is incredibly fresh, nutritious, and delicious.
