作為臺灣現代知識啟蒙地的臺博館，回應當代社會文化多樣性，逐步建立臺灣認識東南亞的方法。透過百年前來自東南亞區域的藏品連結當代東南亞在臺社群（Collections make Connections），以藏品為核心與東南亞在臺移民工共同合作，眾聲喧嘩地呈現跨越區域與文化差異的相遇故事。
National Taiwan Museum, as the birthplace of modern knowledge for people here in the country, acknowledges the cultural multiplicity of contemporary society while working tirelessly to establish a modus operandi for the Taiwanese people in their explorative learning of the cultural and ethnic diversity of Southeast Asia. By consociating the century-old artifacts from Southeast Asia with Southeast Asian minorities currently living in Taiwan (“Collections make Connections”), the NTM collaborates with Southeast Asian migrants – with art collection as the core – and tells a story about an encounter that transcends regional cultural divides.
