Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines Introduction
The Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines is the first private museum in Taiwan with a focus on indigenous peoples. As you pass by it, you can't help but notice its unique architectural design—a sturdy gray trapezoidal building adorned with large stained glass windows, and at the center stands a stone column intricately engraved with indigenous totems, exuding an air of mystery that seems to beckon people to step into the fascinating world of Taiwan's indigenous cultures. The museum's collection features four main themes, detailing the distribution areas of the various indigenous groups in Taiwan, along with introductions to traditional daily life items such as architecture, crafts, and hunting tools, as well as the beautiful traditional costumes of each group and their most important ancestral beliefs. The museum also regularly organizes various related activities and courses, allowing the public to experience indigenous culture in a lively and engaging way, appreciating their reverence for ancestors and the wisdom of living in harmony with nature.
