We stopped on our last day at the Lan Yang Museum. This museum was wonderful. It is described as a 'window and a curio box of sorts to the great land of Yi-lan.' When you first walk in there is a coffee shop and coffee museum, though I am not quite sure what that was all about. None the less, it was lovely to sit there and relax, eat lunch and look at the falling rain outside.
Inside the museum. 'The permanent exhibitions take advantage of the building's special characteristics, including the Introductory Exhibition as well as the Mountain Level, Plain Level, Ocean Level, and Corridor or Time Exhibitions spread over the building's four floors and suggesting Yi-lan's overall geographical and cultural context.' You take an escalator up from the permanent exhibition entrance all the way up to the top. I think the escalator was almost vertical!!
Each permanent exhibit showed the different facets of life in Yi-lan. It was really informative and very hands on. The first level "Mountains" (no pictures here) also helped us understand more about the Cypress forest we'd been to the day before.
This is "Plains". It was really great for the kids to wander around and interact with everything.
Evie over the ducks and chirping.
Rainy days, all three. But it somehow fit.
"Oceans" exhibit.
Captain Evie.
Beautifully contructed and designed. It is a wealth of knowledge and I would love to visit it again.
