 The Shung
Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines was established in 1994 as a
specialist museum 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. 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 indigenous peoples’ culture.
Illustration of museum building: The
Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines was designed by architect
Er-pan, Kao. The outlay of this building adapted indigenous
peoples’ image of traditional dwellings “building log as nests”.
The base of the building was painstakingly chose the original
and indigenous material and piled up with shale which brought
the outer walls of this museum look to be both delicate and
indigenous.
Symbol of the museum: main
structure/nice rhombus which represents fusion of tribes;
both sides/waves which represents whirling ocean.
Rhombus pattern was commonly used
among Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. The red Rhombus pattern
was adapted from one piece of indigenous from Atayal
weaving˙ which represents eyes in one tribe of Atayal called
Seediq Bale.
