Suho Paper Memorial Museum

What a fantastic place! I stopped by during a short stay in Taipei. I was able to participate in the papermaking workshop, which is always a great experience. All aspects of papermaking are explained. The staff are really friendly and open to discussion. A must-see!

Amazing experiences that the instructor walked you though how to make a paper. You can get some hands on experiencing making a paper as a souvenir and explore the eras of paper making technique in the building. Also very kids friendly. My daughter loves the experience and she made a paper with flower petals in it.

What is paper? At Shu Huo's traditional handmade paper workshop, the fascinating history of paper is told, along with Shu Huo's journey from a paper mill in Puli to a museum. We practice and recreate the essence and spirit of traditional Taiwanese papermaking every day, incorporating sustainability into the processes of raw material selection, pulping, papermaking, laminating, and drying, transforming them into possibilities for everyday aesthetics and contemporary art. Located in Taipei, the "Shu Huo Memorial Paper Museum" is Taiwan's only paper museum and a cultural venue recommended by the New York Times. Converted from an old house, it retains the characteristics of traditional street dwellings while incorporating modern design, creating a warm and natural space for exploration. The exhibition, themed "I Will Become a Mountain," spans three floors, each with a different theme and experience. The museum features a small papermaking workshop, a Shu Huo special exhibition area, and a permanent exhibition area, offering hands-on activities and paper art exhibitions. The Shu Huo Memorial Paper Museum blends the history, craftsmanship, and art of paper, serving as a platform for inheriting Taiwanese paper culture and allowing visitors to experience the warmth of history and the power of innovation.
