What a Hard Design! Wisdom in Stone Age

Exhibition

Exhibition Introduction

The Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Exhibition Hall has organized a small-scale exhibition themed around “stone tools,” featuring several typical types of stone artifacts on display. Through observation and hands-on experiences, visitors are invited to explore how humans used “design thinking” to respond to everyday needs. This exhibition also features videos by the museum’s volunteers and expert scholars introducing their favorite stone tools, along with a voting and prize-drawing event that invites visitors to choose the stone tool they believe would have been the most practical to use. During the exhibition period, the museum will also host the “Shouldered Stone Axe DIY Activities” on September 26, where participants can create stone axe–shaped coasters using cork boards and experience the design thinking of prehistoric humans through hands-on activities.

Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Exhibition Hall

The Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Exhibition Hall was established around the Dayuan Jianshan Site, a designated municipal archaeological site in Taoyuan City. The Hall showcases significant artifacts excavated over the years, including finely crafted stone tools made from diverse raw materials and pottery from widespread sources. These artifacts demonstrate the mature craftsmanship and active regional exchanges of inhabitants at the time, providing crucial clues about the interactions and development among prehistoric cultures in the Taoyuan area—carrying immense historical and academic value. Upholding the vision of sharing cultural heritage, the Hall presents these precious archaeological discoveries to the public through permanent exhibitions, educational outreach, and cultural experiences. By helping visitors discover Taoyuan's rich prehistoric culture, the Hall welcomes visitors to actively engage in preserving and passing down this legacy.
