The Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum (China Knife, Scissors, Sword, Fan, and Umbrella Museum) is located on the west side of Gongchen Bridge in the historical district of Hangzhou, on the banks of the Grand Canal. It is a national first-class museum.
The Fan Museum is the only museum in China with a fan theme. Here you can learn about the long history and culture of fans. The tall feather fan in the exhibition hall is impressive.
The unique umbrella culture has been derived from the misty and rainy Jiangnan. The Umbrella Museum is the first umbrella-themed museum in China, displaying China's umbrella culture, history and craftsmanship.
"An object with one blade is a knife, and an object with two blades is a sword. Two knives intersect to form scissors." Here you can learn about the unique culture of knives, scissors and swords.
The Arts and Crafts Museum provides ordinary visitors with a place to understand the history of Hangzhou arts and crafts, appreciate masterpieces, and interpret the connotation of craftsmanship. The second floor provides a window for arts and crafts masters to pass on their skills to society, and also provides a close communication platform for arts and crafts enthusiasts.
