Taiwan Indigenous Culture and Customs Photo Gallery
Let's visit the “Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines” in Taiwan!
The museum was established in 1994 as Taiwan’s first private Indigenous museum by a family with a deep appreciation for Indigenous culture, who donated their personal collection of artifacts as its initial pieces. The museum’s main exhibits offer a deeper look into the natural environments, daily life, clothing, personal adornments, ritual objects, and spiritual practices of Taiwan’s Indigenous tribes.
Additionally, the third floor of the museum features a particularly special interactive experience: a traditional dance simulation. Using 3D screens, visitors can even see their own faces merged with Indigenous costumes and dance to traditional music by following projected silhouettes of footprints!
As listening to the voices of Indigenous singers and learn more about their culture, visitors truly come to respect and appreciate their heritage. This is an opportunity to explore the rich cultural footprints of humanity in Taiwan—a fascinating country in East Asia.
