Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines
Private museum in Taipei, Taiwan
The Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines (Traditional Chinese: 順益台灣原住民博物館; Simplified Chinese: 顺益台湾原住民博物馆; Pinyin: Shùnyì Táiwān Yuánzhùmín Bówùguǎn) is the first private museum dedicated to the culture and history of the Taiwanese indigenous peoples. It is located just 200 metres diagonally across from the National Palace Museum in Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan. The museum was officially opened in June 1994 and displays various types of artefacts from different indigenous tribes in Taiwan. The Formosan Aborigines live mainly in the mountainous regions of eastern and southern Taiwan and have historically spoken a variety of Austronesian languages. Both permanent and rotating exhibitons are a part of the museum.[1]
