Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines: The Story of Aborigines

“In loving our native place we must cherish each other’s cultures.”

Established in 1994, as a specialist museum, the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines was founded on the collection and display of artifacts of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. It is dedicated to promoting mutual understanding between different ethnic groups, through careful research, preservation and explanation of the essence of Aboriginal cultures. 

There are currently 16 recognized indigenous tribes in Taiwan. Shung Ye Museum’s main displays introduce the natural environment of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, their daily utensils, clothing and personal decoration, ritual objects and religious life. Films shown in the auditorium provide an understanding of the present conditions of Aboriginal life. The museum also has a special exhibition room where related exhibitions are held at regular intervals to broaden visitor’s field of concern, and to present the many faces of humankind’s culture. Fine examples of tribal handicrafts can be seen on each level, and videos relate the tribes’ histories and other aspects of tribal life.

The museum is across the road and up a short distance from the entrance to the National Palace Museum; a joint ticket is NT$400.
