Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines is the first private museum, which takes aboriginal cultures as its key subject. Furthermore, many private enterprises in Taiwan have provided material and financial support for the museum. Thanks to cooperation between the museum and tribal villages an active platform has been established from which indigenous artistic culture and history may be passed on. This paper discusses the mission of Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines and presents its historical development. Greater understanding of the management of the museum and its work in preserving cultural relics will improve the relationship between the museum and aborigines.
