Shunyi Museum of Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples Introduction

Shunyi Museum of Taiwan Indigenous Peoples is the first private museum in Taiwan themed around indigenous cultures. As you pass by, it is hard to overlook the unique architectural design—a stable gray trapezoidal building with stained glass decorations on its entire windows. In the center stands a stone pillar engraved with indigenous totems, emanating a sense of mystery that seems to possess a kind of magic, inviting people to step into the fascinating world of Taiwan's indigenous cultures. The museum's collections are categorized into four main themes, detailing the distribution of various indigenous groups in Taiwan, as well as introductions to traditional daily life objects such as architecture, crafts, and hunting tools. It also showcases the beautiful traditional costumes of different tribes and the crucial ancestral spirit beliefs of the indigenous peoples. The museum regularly hosts various related activities and courses, allowing the public to experience indigenous culture in a more lively and relaxed manner, appreciating their life wisdom that reveres ancestral spirits and coexists with nature.
