Asia’s only “Picture Frame Museum” has opened in Yilan. When you come here, do you think you can only admire paintings? The “Picture Frame Museum” also hides 3D painted walls that blend art, family DIY activities, and challenge games inside.The Picture Frame Museum is located near the Luodong Interchange in Yilan. Unlike traditional art galleries or museums, it allows photography and is creatively designed with an artistic atmosphere, allowing the public to engage with life-oriented art in a new way. On-site guides provide detailed explanations about the historical stories of art. Visitors to the Picture Frame Museum can not only appreciate artworks and experience art, but also create their own, thereby getting closer to art.

The “Picture Frame Museum” began trial operations in November. From the outside, it looks like a high-quality café, sparking curiosity. There’s a limit on the number of visitors, so remember to book online before your visit. When we look at a painting, we often focus on how it’s painted or how the colors are arranged, but we overlook the fact that the “frame” is also a key part of the artwork. Guides at the Picture Frame Museum will explain everything about frames in detail. Kids can have fun here and also gain valuable knowledge.

The “Art Appreciation Area” on the second floor is adorned with a variety of artworks, evoking memories of student days. In art textbooks, complex terms like “Impressionism” and “Surrealism” often leave people puzzled. But the Picture Frame Museum pairs these classic works with easy-to-understand descriptions, eliminating the sense of distance that “art” can bring. Visitors can easily understand the painting styles and their meanings, bringing them closer to art.

After visiting the Art Appreciation Area, don’t rush to leave – the “Immersive Art Area” on the third floor is full of surprises. It reinterprets art in innovative ways, featuring challenge games that stimulate kids’ minds and spark creativity with art. The area also includes an “electronic microscope” that lets visitors determine whether a piece was hand-painted or machine-printed – something both adults and children can learn beyond the classroom.

The Immersive Art Area also features humorous 3D painted walls, each adapted from famous paintings. Even more special is a spectacular wall of frames where visitors can take photos to their heart’s content while learning and having fun. Successfully completing the challenge games earns you a trip to the fourth floor to exchange for a “face card” or sticker – fun for all ages.
