When I was visiting Taiwan, back in January 2018, I discovered the Brick Ark Museum. I still don’t understand the “ARK” part of the name, I’d have thought Brick “ART” Museum.

Meaning art made from bricks (aka LEGOs). But hey, it’s not my museum. I did travel there, from central Taipei to Yilan Station, about a 45-minute drive.

I wandered the Yilan station area, enjoyed the local sites, vendor market, and food market (yum!) then made my way to the Brick ARK Museum.

The staff was super friendly and fun. I’m always clowning around, and enjoy making other people smile.

In my opinion, the Brick Ark Museum, in Yilan City, Taiwan, is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. No matter what your age (I was 50-ish) and whether you are traveling solo (I was) or with your entire family (there were people of ALL ages), I’d strongly suggest to take a trip over and have fun! Lowering your stress and smiling are proven to increase your healthy immune system. So feel good about enjoying yourself!
