Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines

The Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines is the first private museum in Taiwan dedicated to indigenous peoples. As you pass by, it's hard to miss its distinctive architectural style—a stately gray trapezoidal building with painted glass windows and a stone pillar carved with indigenous totems standing prominently in the center. It carries an air of mystery, as if possessing a magic that beckons and invites people to step into the wonderful world of Taiwan's indigenous peoples. The museum's collection is organized into four main themes, detailing the distribution of Taiwan's various indigenous tribes, introducing traditional daily objects such as architecture, crafts, and hunting tools, as well as the beautiful traditional clothing of each tribe, and the most important ancestral spirit beliefs of indigenous peoples. The museum also regularly holds various related activities and courses, allowing the public to personally experience indigenous culture in a lively and relaxed manner, and to appreciate their reverence for ancestral spirits and their wisdom of living in harmony with nature and the mountains.
