Bunun Cultural Museum, Indigenous cultural museum in Haiduan Village, Taiwan
The Bunun Cultural Museum is a two-story facility in this mountain village that documents the history and traditions of the Bunun people. The ground floor serves as a visitor center, while the upper level houses exhibition spaces with artifacts and cultural displays.
The facility opened in 2002 as the first dedicated cultural center for the Bunun in this region, marking an important shift toward documenting the community. It was established to preserve cultural heritage from being lost and to give visitors insights into the past.
The museum displays wax figures of Bunun people and traditional wood carvings that reflect the community's daily life. Visitors see handcrafted objects and photographs showing how residents lived and worked over time.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and sits near the railway station, making it easy to reach. Access is well-marked and staff can assist visitors with questions about the exhibits.
The facility includes a dedicated performance space where cultural events and ceremonies take place regularly. This area lets visitors experience living traditions rather than just viewing objects on display.
