Triangle Rush Exhibition Hall, Art museum in Yuanli Township, Taiwan
Triangle Rush Exhibition Hall is an art museum in Yuanli, Taiwan, set inside a converted warehouse with red brick walls. The space is divided into several sections, each focused on a different aspect of rush weaving and the local crafts that developed around it.
The Farmers' Association of Yuanli Township turned an unused warehouse into this space to keep rush weaving techniques from disappearing. The conversion happened as local interest in preserving agricultural crafts grew stronger over time.
Rush weaving in Yuanli has long been practiced by women in the area, and the hall keeps this tradition visible through displays of hats, mats, and baskets. The craft is still taught and made locally, so what you see in the hall connects directly to what people in the area still do.
The hall offers hands-on workshops where you can try rush weaving with guidance from local instructors, so booking ahead is a good idea if you want a spot. The surrounding town of Yuanli is easy to walk around, and the hall fits naturally into a short half-day visit.
A statue of Hong Yang, one of the first teachers to pass on rush weaving techniques in the area, stands inside the hall as a tribute to his role. His presence there is a reminder that this craft was shaped and carried forward by specific people, not just by tradition in general.
