Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines Introduction
The Shunyi Museum of Taiwan Indigenous Peoples is the first private museum in the country themed around indigenous peoples. As you pass by, it's hard to miss its distinctive architectural shape—a solid gray trapezoidal building with a façade of stained glass and a stone pillar in the center intricately carved with indigenous totems, exuding a mysterious aura that seems to magically invite people to step into the vibrant world of Taiwan's indigenous cultures. The museum's collection is organized into four main themes, detailing the distribution areas of Taiwan's indigenous tribes and introducing traditional daily life objects such as architecture, crafts, and hunting tools, as well as the beautiful traditional costumes of each tribe and their essential ancestral spirit beliefs. The museum also periodically hosts various related activities and courses, allowing the public to experience indigenous culture in a lively and relaxed manner, appreciating their reverence for ancestors and the wisdom of living in harmony with nature.
