About Us
Established in May 1979, the Yilan County Cultural Center’s core mission is to promote social education and cultural activities in Lan-yan region. Located in Fusing Road, Section 2 of Yilan City, the centre covers a total area of 4.9863 hectares and was officially opened to the public on May 20th, 1984.
To accommodate musical, dance, theater and other performances, the center inaugurated in 1998 the very first three-level stage in Taiwan, and rapidly became the focal point of all cultural and artistic activities in the county. In 2000, the Yilan County Cultural Center became the Yilan County Cultural Affairs Bureau with five distinct departments, including Culture Development Section, Library Information Section, Visual Arts Section, Performing Arts Section, Cultural Heritage Section, and two unique pavilions: the first one being the Taiwan Theater Museum encompassing all aspects of lyrical performances ranging from the origins of the Yilan Taiwanese Opera to recent artistic currents, whereas the second is the Institute of Yilan County History which covers the region’s rich history, intellectual personalities and natural resources.
The key building is made of a three-storey re-inforced cement structure including a library, an exhibition hall, an opera artifact collection display-room, a youth library and multi-function venues.
The main hall on the ground floor is dedicated to indoor events, exhibitions and special displays necessitating multi-function facilities. Other key exhibition spaces are also available on the ground floor as well as first floor for regular displays, presenting artistic works or exceptional exhibitions. The second and third floors include conference and meeting rooms used primarily for large events, conferences and seminars.
