Lanyang Museum Emblem
The name Yilan is derived from the word “Kavalan.” The Kavalan people are an aboriginal tribe that has lived in the plains for thousands of years. The Kavalan people co-exist with many groups in this area. This cultural exchange has become the basis for our multicultural traditions. The museum chose our emblem after much careful discussion with the local residents. We chose a woodcarving that best represents traditional Kavalan culture in Yilan. The emblem is meant to reflect the multifaceted relationship that exists between the museum, nature, and local residents.
