Taiwan Glove Museum Introduction
The world's largest glove is here! The Taiwan Glove Museum was established by Chen Yi-yi, the chairman of Yih Chih Sports Co., Ltd., the only remaining sewing sports glove factory in Taiwan. It is located in the Sock Industry Park on She Shi Road in She Tou Township, covering an area of 530 square meters. It is the only glove-themed exhibition hall in the world, combining a museum, art gallery, and tourist factory into a comprehensive activity area. The museum features diverse exhibits, professional aspects of a glove factory, and introduces artistic creations resembling a glove art museum. Planned with the operation model of a tourist factory, it includes both dynamic and static displays, as well as DIY classrooms, learning rooms, and children's play areas. Additionally, there is a "Global Glove Exhibition and Sales Area" that showcases and sells various types of gloves, including rare and special gloves from Taiwan. The museum's treasure is the towering "World's Largest Glove," measuring 5.8 meters tall, which is 256 times the size of an ordinary glove and hand-stitched. It is claimed to be the largest in the world, breaking the current record of 2.5 meters in the United States.
Wow! Did I accidentally step into the realm of giants? Upon entering the Glove Museum, what stands before me is a giant glove about two stories tall. Don’t underestimate it; it holds the Guinness World Record for the largest glove, entirely hand-sewn, and took more than three months to complete. The design of the glove is changed periodically! The current design is from the 2019 Tanaka Marathon. The founder of the Glove Museum, Mr. Chen Yi-yi, graduated from the Fu-Hsing Technical School and has always hoped to integrate his creativity into the products of his family business, which is why many of the product designs, logos, and even the construction of the museum itself have been influenced by his artistic vision.
