China Sigillography Museum

China Sigillography Museum is the first professional sigillography museum founded by the Xiling Seal-Engravers' Society (the oldest, most successful, and influential folk art association which serves as a wonderful place to study engraving, painting, and calligraphy.) The museum serves the function of documentation collection, historical relics display, and academic exchange. The strong academic ambiance and picturesque natural scenery make the museum the national-level garden-like museum that it is. Located within the old site of the Xiling Seal-Engravers' Society, the main building of the museum covers an area of 1300 sq m and since its opening in 1999, it has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors.

It includes nine showrooms that display imperial seals, epigraphic art, painting and calligraphy, sigillographic art, seal stone, Wu Changshuo's works, and the history of Xiling. The rare historical relics and art treasures in China Sigillography Museum total more than 500 and 300 hundred pieces, respectively.
