An exhibition serves as a channel for the most direct interaction between a museum and its viewers. Museum exhibitions provide a glimpse into a group's culture and express a given museum's ideology. The Taiwan Hakka Museum takes the continuation and development of a particular ethnic group, the Hakka, as the axis of its narrative. In addition to reflecting important indicators for Taiwan's cultural construction and social development, the Museum is characterized by the nature of cultural and political infighting in Taiwan's pluralistic social system. Highlighting various obscure, little-known cultures and dominant relationships through exhibitions is truly a more critical issue for ethnic museums. This study examines two permanent exhibitions curated by the Taiwan Hakka Museum, namely, 400 Years of Taiwan Hakka, the Museum's first permanent exhibition organized in 2012, and Thank You Hakka, a completely revamped permanent exhibition staged in 2019. Based on their displayed contents, this study discusses and analyzes how the Taiwan Hakka Museum, as an ethnic museum, responds to contemporary social trends and presents the concept of transitional justice to be more in line with the spirit of modern museums and the process of Hakka research. |
