Welcome to Taiwan’s Museums Taiwan is a tobacco-leaf shaped island, stretching 400 km from north to south and located off the Asian mainland’s southeast coast in the waters of the Pacific. It has a total area of 36,000 km² and a population of approximately 23 million. Despite the island’s petite scale, it is home to a rich array of natural resources and cultural highlights. Strong economic growth and deep-rooted political liberalization have catalyzed development of its cultural and fine arts circles and the museum industry in particular is enjoying increasingly burgeoning growth. Taiwan houses more than 700 institutions broadly defined defined as museums, featuring a rich and storied variety of themes and motifs making the island a treasure trove of cultural and biological diversity. These museums, coming in all sizes, provide opportune settings for international collaboration and exchange and the sharing of global and local experience. We sincerely welcome your visit and hope our museums will help you learn much more about Taiwan.

Travelling Exhibitions of Taiwan Museums
Rainbow and Dragonfly: Where the Atayal Clothing Meet the Paiwan Multicolored Glass Beads The Atayal and the Paiwan, the two major indigenous groups of northern and southern Taiwan respectively, have long been renowned for their textiles (the Atayal) and multicolored glass beads (the Paiwan). The National Taiwan Museum has many traditional artifacts of the two groups in its collections, and has in recent years begun to collect contemporary works which reflect a revival of indigenous culture. Of these works, the Atayal textiles from Yuma Taru's Lihang Studio and the Paiwan multi-colored glass bead art from Shih Hsiu-Chu’s (a.k.a. Remereman Taruzaljuan) Dragonfly Beads Art Studio can be regarded as the most important ones. For several decades, these | 8 |
two artists have flourished in the nourishment and inspiration found at the meeting point between tradition and modernity, enabling them to exhibit a strong cultural vitality and a power to transcend cultural boundaries. This exhibition brings together contemporary and traditional pieces, complemented by new works from these two artists, and in doing so illustrating the different but otherwise convergent routes that each indigenous group has taken to find new cultural connections. The exhibition tells “the museum coming from the indigenous world, and the indigenous world returning to the museum� cultural story formed by indigenous culture, indigenous artists and the museum. | 9 |
Exhibition Sections The Village Ideal of the Atayal Weaver Women : A Continuation of Life
The Mystical Force of the Immortal : Paiwan Multi-colored Glass Bead Legend and Life Metaphor
The Atayal weaving culture is a part of the indigenous heritage, but this heritage has been gradually losing its vitality in the wake of modernization. However, the dream of passing on cultural vitality so closely tied to the land and its people hasn't disappeared completely: Yuma Taru leads a group of women from Xiangbi Village in the Da'an river basin, Tai'an Township, Miaoli County, and the Lihang Studio as their family, to begin searching once again for this indigenous ideal. With maternal perspectives and methods, they have given a new lease of life to the Atayal weaving tradition.
The Paiwan people call their multi-colored glass beads “dragonfly beads”, or qata (ata) in the Paiwan language. In their culture, every bead has its own specific name, story, and symbolism, according to mythology, social hierarchy, use in ceremony and religious rites, and cosmology. The Paiwan people believe that these beads have the power to bless, protect, and forestall disaster and punishment. Traditionally they belonged to the noble class, and while they may have later become more available, they are still an essential gift at Paiwan weddings, as well as an indispensable ornament in celebratory rites and ceremonies.
Weaver Women Seek Footprints in History : A Historical Jigsaw Puzzle, and Objects and the Museum With the many changes in modern culture, many cultural links relating to weaving and textiles have disappeared. Only with a combination of the museum's collections, interviews with village elders and field surveys can we begin to rebuild these cultural threads of long ago.
The Cultural Vision of the Brilliantly Colored Atayal Clothing : Weaving the “Circle of Life” Traditionally, Atayal clothing is just like the continuous cycle of life experienced by the people, having different content for each stage of life. Life is just like the fabrics weaved by our ancestors: one may pursue it to complete the perfect circle of a fulfilling life.
Classification and Revitalization : Clothing as Index of Social Identification, and the Reproduction of “the Indigenous Paradigm” Yuma Taru, the Atayal textiles artist, following research and analysis into the tribe's textile history, has classified traditional Atayal clothing into eight major regional branches. She also reproduces traditional clothing of these branches, and has established a 'database' of Atayal textiles.
The Meeting of the Modern and the Traditional : Regeneration of Tradition and Expression of Modernity The Atayal weaver women of today make use of their profound cultural sensitivity, collecting examples of traditional textiles from various places in Taiwan and abroad. Following their reproducing traditional clothing inspires them to ponder the current circumstances of indigenous society and incorporate fresh new looks and contours into traditional forms. | 10 |
Love under the Swing : Traditional Paiwan Weddings and Beads that Convey Love Multi-colored glass beads were an essential betrothal gift, and the bride and groom would both wear beaded ornaments and embroidered clothing during the wedding. A swing would also be set up, and everyone would sing, dance and feast together, to demonstrate their great joy at the union.
A Story that Transcends Time : Heartfelt Episode of Passing on the Heritage of Multi-colored Glass Beads With significant recent changes in local living conditions, the utilization and cultural significance of Paiwan multi-colored glass beads have changed accordingly, while multicolored glass beads remain a 'cultural umbilical cord' for the Paiwan people, connecting them closely to their indigenous culture.
A New Lease on Life for Paiwan Multi-colored Glass Beads : Contemporary Craft and Creation The craft of beads-making has played a significant role in the current revitalization of traditional Paiwan handicraft. The craft has resurged thanks to nurturing of traditional elements, continuation of some traditional needs, constant experimentation, and a consideration of traditional and modern culture together.
Bringing Beads into Our Homes : The Warm Taste of Contemporary Life The utilization of contemporary multi-colored glass beads in ordinary life can create an innovative sense of space. This is a new way to consider incorporating indigenous culture into our modern lives.

The Origins of Taiwan : A Microscopic Journey Through the Living Aesthetics of Taiwan’s Indigenous Peoples This exhibition is concer ned with the stereotypification and simplification o f g l o b a l i n d i g e n o u s c u l t u re s , a n d t h e c h a l l e n g e o f c re a t i n g a n e w a r t i s t i c direction for the world's indigenous artists, designers, and craftsmen. It shows how Taiwanese indigenous artists, designers, and craftsmen deal with the above issues and how they "break through" and "stand on their own feet." | 14 |
It also presents the unique cultural characteristics of the Austronesian peoples, such as their use of tree bark. We hope that the Austronesian peoples can compare and benefit from the positive experience of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples in the development of cultural and creative products.

Exhibition Sections
Texture - Shell flower
The Village Ideal of the Atayal Weaver Women : A Continuation of Life
The shell flower is a commonly seen plant in Taiwan, the whole of which can be used. Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, such as the Paiwan, Rukai and Amis tribes use the leaves to make shell flower abai (rice dumplings), and strips of the leaf stocks to make daily use products such as grass mats, and so on.
Texture - Fish baskets How are the unique craft forms and techniques of the one-piece bamboo Sanku fish baskets of the Kavalan tribe to be seen and transformed ?
Texture - Driftwood In the early 1990s, Rahic Talif designed and created chairs out of driftwood, the material with which they were most familiar from the environment in which they had grown up. In the mid-1990s, they were challenged and dismayed by charges that their work was not indigenous art. Their work resonated in the early 2000s, however, as more indigenous artists began to make art with driftwood. To indigenous peoples on the east coast, the use of driftwood for creative purposes is deeply connected to the region, culture and natural environment.
Texture - Bark cloth Bark culture is one of the distinctive features of the culture of the Austronesian peoples. Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, such as the Amis, Paiwan, Rukai and Atayal tribes used to produce bark cloth. The most beautiful aspect of the bark is the texture of its fiber. After the bark has been pounded, unexpected benefits appear: translucence, lightness and elegance, ruggedness.
Rattan chairs
Shell flower mats
Color & Pattern It’s not just color, but color coordination. Fabric is itself an important design and product. How can one see more ethnic diversity of color in a big red? Pink and sapphire blue, for example, are colors favored by which tribe? How can one present in an exquisite rhombus pattern, more exquisite and meaningful vocabularies of patterns?
Pattern & Myths The hundred-pace viper, the wren, and the wild boar present the relationship between indigenous peoples and the natural environment.
Texture - Banana cloth Currently among Taiwan’s indigenous peoples only the Kavalan tribe of Xinshe uses banana silk fiber as its main weaving material. In the late 1980s, a major crisis occurred in banana silk weaving. In the early 1990s, during the Kavalan’s renaming movement and the cultural revival of the Xinshe village, the elders once again picked up their looms to weave the distinctive banana cloth.

Seeing Pingpu : The History and Culture of the Plains Indigenous Peoples in Taiwan In Taiwan, the constant flow of immigrants in recent history has dramatically changed the social structure of the plains indigenous peoples, also known as the Pingpu. In this way, both the languages and cultures of the plains indigenous peoples gradually became indistinguishable from those of the immigrant population. In the1980s, members of the plains indigenous peoples’ community thus began a movement to revive their cultures, which sought to restore the past glory of the various ethnic groups by raising consciousness of their identities. | 20 |
The exhibition “Seeing Pingpu” presents details of the history of the plains indigenous peoples by showing how aspects of the related cultures have changed throughout history. We hope that this exhibition will enhance communication and understanding among all Taiwanese people and ethnic groups. We look forward to the stories of the plains indigenous peoples becoming part of the common memories of Taiwan.
| 21 |
Exhibition Sections This is a story about the Plains Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan. It tells of the long and difficult road this group traveled as they searched for their memories and regained their dignity. It is also a story about you and me, about all the Taiwanese people. Through this exhibition of “Seeing Pingpu”, We also learn tolerance and respect, and to cherish the diverse cultures that exist in Taiwanese society.
Who are the Pingpu, and Where are They from? In Taiwan, you may hear names such as Ketagalan Boulevard, Qilian, Huanya Village, ShaluNew She (village), and these actually represent various locations where the plains indigenous peoples once lived. Many people may ask: Who are the Pingpu? Where can we find them? Do their languages and cultures still exist? And these are the questions this exhibition aims to answer in the beginning.
Seeing Pingpu The information contained in the “Plains Indigenous Peoples in the Grand History” is largely derived from the written records of the outsiders and rulers. The current exhibition, “Seeing Pingpu”, aims to present the stories of the Plains indigenous peoples through their legends and material culture to show how plains indigenous peoples’ cultures were passed down the generations through their rich artistic traditions. Through the stories told here, visitors will be able to learn about the displacements the plains indigenous peoples suffered due to their conflicts with the outsiders who came to Taiwan and took their land. This exhibition also shows these indigenous peoples’ efforts in dealing with cultural integrations and clashes, as well as changes and innovations.
We Have Always been Here !
Plains Indigenous Peoples in the Grand History Throughout Taiwanese history, the island has often been ruled by outsiders. Each of these governing regimes undertook actions that caused the plains indigenous peoples to gradually lose their land, and with it their languages, cultures and sense of identity. This part of the exhibition uses both texts and images to show the history of the plains indigenous peoples, and how they were seen by earlier visitors and rulers of Taiwan. It is important to note that these representations were not produced by the plains indigenous peoples themselves, whose own voices were thus excluded from official records.
Since the end of the 1980s, many plains indigenous peoples have called for a cultural revival, making the point that their traditions are still living, and not confined to history books. Moreover, the plains indigenous peoples are not only one tribe, but many groups with different names and cultures, who together represent the Taiwanese indigenous people. They proudly state: “We will never disappear, nor are we a thing of the past. We have always been and will always be a part of Taiwan.”

Post-Adolescene The exhibition Post-Adolescence focuses on the works of artists under 35 years of age. These artists have emerged from their adolescence and are at the peak of their postadolescence phase. They will soon be entering a period of maturity, and are now at important crossroads in their lives. Artistically speaking, they are filled with passion and full of exuberant creativity, yet, their works exude isolation and loneliness. In addition to presenting the vitality of the young artists, the exhibition also explores their selfidentification and the worlds of their inner imagination.

Exhibition Sections
Switch and Play between Identity/Language Young artists seek to exhibit their personal characteristics. However, the ego or “self” is sometimes obscure or hidden in their works as in the cyber space which young people are familiar with. The paradox in seeking and establishing an identity is a common question to the people of Taiwan. Young artists respond to this question in their unique ways: some humorous or sarcastic and others serious or subtle.
A Microcosm for Grand Vision Young artists frequently take their personal lives as themes of their works. These viewpoints may seem sheltered or limited, but they guide us through the interior scenery of their lives and place them in perspective. Young artists show the issues they are concerned with, their reflections upon life, and the power of their imaginations via the microcosmic prism of their works.
Imagination Embodied in Collage Young artists often change the functions of everyday items in their works. Through collage technique, they give brand new meanings to an “action”, a “scene” or “space/ environment.” The results can be sarcastic, poetic or absurd. “Collage” has a long history as an artistic concept and young artists endow the special phenomena of our times with new language to play on their existential meaning.
The works within the exhibit, Post-Adolescence, belong to the collection of The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. It includes paintings, sculptures, mix-media installation, video art and new media art works. The exhibition space in NTMoFA is 4500 square meters approximately. When exhibited in other venues, the works can be displayed in an alternative manner as required to optimize presentation.

Indigenous Weaving : An Exhibition of Taiwanese Indigenous Artifacts in the NMH Collection The National Museum of History is an important institution for the writing and the construction of the national discourses. NMH also devotes itself to promoting the cultural mission of ethnic integration and co-existence. Therefore, in addition to its Han culture collection, NMH has also acquired 76 Taiwan indigenous artifacts, most of which are textiles. In this exhibition, we present for the first time representative woven textiles from Taiwan’s indigenous tribes. These pieces represent not only the craftsmanship but also the cultural development of Taiwan indigenous peoples. We hope this exhibition can give audiences a taste of the cultural diversity and abundant beauty characteristic of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples and their creations.

Exhibition Sections The weaving styles of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples are highly distinctive. Prior to sustained contact with the outside world, Taiwan’s indigenous peoples utilized a horizontal back-strap loom to process ramie fibers into clothing and sometimes tanned hides were also used to make apparel. After sustained contact with the outside world began, local peoples engaged in barter and now cotton, fur, and man-made fabrics gradually replaced ramie. When Han Chinese culture began to dominate, Taiwan’s indigenous peoples gave up traditional “square clothing” sewing with cloth blocks in favor of Han Chinese style apparel.

Kraken Island Rising - The Inner World of Taiwan Literature Within the island of Taiwan, many different ethnic groups who arrived at various periods through history, each speaking different languages and living different lifestyles, are gathered together, thereby creating a rich cultural environment. The inner world of Taiwan literature also reflects this reality. Writers of different ethnic groups have all breathed the same air on this island, and each has individually responded to the pulse of his or her time, and whether the outcome is a literature that blends and homogenizes, or seeks to overcome and resist, the literature of other groups, or whether or not it is “nostalgia literature,” it is all part of Taiwan’s colorful literature. To present the diversity of the inner world of Taiwan literature, the permanent display is now divided into three main areas—“The Call of the Mountains and Sea,” “Disparate Dialogues,” and “Literature’s Bright Future.” | 38 |
| 39 |
Exhibition Sections The exhibition is divided into three main areas – “The Call of the Mountains and Sea," "Disparate Dialogues," and "Literature's Bright Future” – which aim to present the spirit and aspirations of Taiwanese writers through representative literary works drawn from three perspectives: nature, society, and modernization. It seeks mutual understanding and inter pretive possibilities for building up the rich, multifaceted Taiwan literary tradition.
“The Call of the Mountains and Sea” Kraken Island Rising spotlights early Malayo-Polynesian immigration to the island and the experience of the first Han immigrants in the 17th century. Island Soul introduces the emotions and experiences underlying Taiwan’s nostalgic literary genre. Formosa of the Mind shows how authors have deftly captured Taiwan’s natural wonder in words, described the complex feelings people have had about their island home at different periods in history, and captured in literature Taiwan’s changing zeitgeist. We hope the works introduced in this section help visitors better appreciate the breadth and diversity that is the essence of Taiwan literature.
to create a cohesive society and how to go about establishing prosperity for all of Taiwan’s various ethnic groups. Countless literary luminaries have played unquestionably important roles in realizing a rich multiethnic literary inner being.
“Literature’s Bright Future” The many social and cultural movements that have swept through Taiwan since the beginning of the 20th century have radically transformed society. As regards literary perspectives on diversity and life, views on literary works, and the development of gender awareness and sensitivity, it is apparent that when facing new perspectives, Taiwan is no longer a passive receptor. Increasingly Taiwan absorbs and shapes outside influences into something uniquely fitting to local conditions. This section examines various current trends as well as diverse writing formats and literary forms to encourage all to read and enjoy literary works that reflect their personality and background, experience the appeal of enticements of literary genres reflecting different gender perspectives, and enter into the essence of world literature through one’s personal local literary experience.
“Disparate Dialogues” This section highlights the process of competition and accommodation that has nurtured inter-ethnic conflict and cooperation. Different types of writing written in different periods reveal differences in author emphasis. Creations of literature using various languages and forms have created solid foundations for a cooperative and resplendent literary garden. This section also examines contemporary literary journals and societies to highlight the incessant search of Taiwan’s authors to answer the questions of how best | 40 |
