Yilan Museum

The Yilan Museum was first established in 1958, originally known as the Old Yilan County Museum. During the Cultural Revolution, the museum suffered severe damage, with most of its cultural relics lost and the museum subsequently closed. In 1999, construction officially began on the new building, which officially opened to the public on June 17, 2001. The Yilan Museum covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, with a building area of over 2,000 square meters and an exhibition area of nearly 1,000 square meters. It is a comprehensive county-level museum.

The museum features a fortress-style exterior and houses four exhibition halls, containing a total of 4,263 cultural relics. Among them are 1,216 classified as precious relics, including mammoth ivory and bones from ancient times, artifacts from the Wokenhada Cave, daily utensils from Han Dynasty ancient villages, as well as relics from the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The museum provides a comprehensive overview of Yilan’s historical development and can be considered a microcosm of northern Chinese history. The first floor of the museum permanently hosts a photography exhibition showcasing the demeanor of great leaders.

The Yilan Museum features a permanent exhibition of Yilan’s historical and cultural relics, presenting a relatively complete historical narrative of Yilan from the Neolithic Age to the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War. The museum also hosts exhibitions such as the early works of Mr. Lü Houtian, one of the founders of the Yilan people’s vision and the nation.
