Wulai Atayal Museum, New Taipei City

Learned alot

Small museum in Wulai about the Atayal people. It’s free, and gives a nice overview of the history.nnDon’t expect anything big or fancy (we were there 30 minutes) but I find it a must go when in Wulai to learn about the Atayal.

I visited this museum a few years ago during my first trip to Taiwan and was impressed by the modern facility in a small hill town far away from the city. The museum experience was great and well thought-out, even though I’m not particularly interested in aboriginal culture.nnOn my recent visit, I saw that there is now an AV area at the lobby, which was a nice touch. I also chatted with the lovely museum receptionist, Ya Xi, who comes from an indigenous family. I was inquiring about the public bus schedules to the village and she was so helpful and friendly that we ended up chatting about the different worlds we live in for awhile.

Brilliant museum. Provides a succinct yet immersive overview of Atayal culture. I highly recommend it. Also an excellent amount of English information.

Totally free and each floor has individually special theme. Easley get known about native of urai
