Anthropology is a discipline that studies “human beings.” Over the past century, anthropology in Taiwan has accumulated a wealth of academic resources. To highlight anthropology’s important contribution to understanding the people and land of Taiwan, to promote public awareness and interest in anthropology, and to review and share the achievements of anthropology’s development in Taiwan, a special exhibition titled “The Footsteps of Anthropologists: A Centennial Exhibition of Anthropology in Taiwan” has been jointly organized by nine domestic museums and academic institutions related to anthropology. The exhibition is being held from now until June 16 at the First Special Exhibition Room of the Tapenkeng Culture Museum.

This special exhibition is divided into three major sections: “A Century in Retrospect—Anthropology in Taiwan Over the Past Hundred Years,” “Field Perspectives—Anthropologists in the Field,” and “Differences and Similarities—Anthropology’s Diverse Concerns.” It reviews the development trajectory of anthropology in Taiwan over the past century and the unique contributions of anthropologists. Through the observational records and diverse collections gathered by anthropologists, the exhibition also invites visitors to experience Taiwan’s multiculturalism. In addition to rich documentation and exhibits, the exhibition incorporates interactive elements and uses open-ended questions to engage visitors with the issues anthropologists care about, bridging the gap between audiences and anthropology. It encourages reflection on unconscious biases in daily life and fosters greater tolerance and respect for cultural diversity.
