Who says museums can’t have blockbuster-level exhibits? 🎬
If you’ve heard of Shu Brocade (蜀锦) and Sichuan Embroidery (川绣) — but haven’t been to the Shu Brocade & Embroidery Museum, you’re missing out on one of Chengdu’s most immersive cultural gems!
✨ A 2000-Year Legacy in Every Thread
Shu Brocade is a National Geographic Indication Product, and its weaving techniques are listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage of China 🇨🇳
This museum is more than just a collection — it’s a living story of craftsmanship and cultural inheritance.
You’ll get to witness traditional wooden looms in action, see ancient weaving designs, and even meet real-life craft masters carrying on the art, thread by thread.
