The Ethnological Museum in Berlin holds significant collections of artifacts from Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples, amassed over a 150-year period beginning in the late 19th century. These collections were largely shaped by the museum’s first director, Adolf Bastian, and reflect both colonial encounters and post-World War II acquisitions. Currently, collaborative efforts are underway to repatriate these historical items to Taiwan. The goal is to showcase them in a major transnational exhibition at the National Taiwan Museum in Taipei, scheduled for 2027. This exhibition marks a significant step in acknowledging the provenance of the artifacts and fostering cultural exchange. The initiative represents a growing trend of museums re-evaluating and addressing the legacies of colonial collecting practices. Further details regarding the scope and specific items involved are expected as the exhibition date approaches.
