About
Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines was officially opened in June 1994 as an ethnology museum that is dedicated to promoting mutual understanding between different ethnic groups, through research, preservation and exhibition of the material culture of Taiwan indigenous peoples. Through various educational activities, we hope to recall the wordless history and present the multi-cultural phases of Taiwan. The main displays of the museum introduce the natural environment of Taiwanās indigenous peoples, their daily utensils, clothing and personal decoration, ritual objects and religious life. Films shown in the museum offer an understanding of the present conditions of the life of Taiwan indigenous peoples. Special indigenous-themed exhibitions, which are expected to be the urban window to tribal culture, are held at regular intervals in the special exhibition room located on the B1 floor.

It is very close to the National Palace Museum; you can walk over. The Shung Ye Museum is 3 floors and there is a park across the street which I think is part of the museum. The exhibits in the museum are so sparse, there really isn't much to see. I had free time and took a taxi to get there; after visiting it, I felt I wasted my taxi money. I don't know why I was bored; maybe it's because the museum is poorly designed? I was disappointed.

Just a few minutes walk from the National Palace Museum, with lovely (and free) parkland across the road. Small but interesting gift shop

This museum is 5 min away from National museum across the street. Itās worth a visit to learn about the indigenous in Taiwan. The exhibition and explanation are very basic. I learned from the video which had Japanese that Taiwan is close to Philippines so no wonder there are people different from Chinese. Not only appearance but also the religion, behavior and habits. I enjoyed making music based on native peoples sense. It was really a good introduction for us who visited Taroko where indigenous people and culture still remain. This museum symbolizes that Taiwanese are enthusiastic of preserving indigenous peoples and their cultures and we appreciate it so much.

A well-displayed and interpreted collection of Taiwan's oft-overlooked first peoples. Good book and gift selection.

Taiwanās indigenous people is one of the things that makes it unique. The best thing, of course, is to go to a village and experience some local festivity. But for the wider context itās well worth coming here for an overview of the 16 recognised tribes, where they are settled and their particular specialities. There is pottery, carving, costumes and more. One thing the museum should think of doing is an accessible book, with photos on Taiwanās indigenous groups.

I visited Wulai the day before coming here, and I loved learning about the fascinating culture and history of the indigenous people of Taiwan. Firstly, I would highly recommend visiting the Shung Ye Museum over the Palace Museum (just down the road). The building is beautiful, and the collection inside is outstanding. There is even a 3D cinema, and even thought the movie wasnāt in English it was pretty easy to follow. The artefacts on show are exceptional, and I found the staff totally committed to their work. When I visited, I was the only person inside the museum. This was a special experience, and my time there was one of the most memorable from my trip to Taipei.

Good introduction to life on Taiwan before the Han Chinese showed up. Donāt miss the 2 videos. ā the 3-D one in the theatre and the one on the video monitor. Get the combo ticket for the National Palace Museum down the street and save a few bucks.

Very interesting museum with most of the information in English. You can buy a combi ticket for the NPM (5min walk away) for NT$400, saving you NT$150 which is a pretty good deal. We got there late in the afternoon, so we visited the Aboriginals Museum first since they close at 5pm and the NPM is open until 9pm on Fri and Sat. This way we also avoided the bigger crowds in the NPM.
