Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum

The Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum Group consists of four museums: Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum, China Knife, Scissors and Sword Museum, China Fan Museum and China Umbrella Museum, and is affiliated with the Hangzhou Bureau of Gardening and Cultural Relics. The museum group was rebuilt from industrial remains west of the Gongchen Bridge over the Grand Canal, effectively preserving the industrial texture, with a total built-up area of 37,862 square meters and an exhibition hall area of 14,264 square meters. The museums have been completed and opened successively since 2009. It is a national first-class museum group.

The Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum Group adopts the operation and management mechanism of "four museums in one", with the themes of knives, scissors, swords, fans, umbrellas and the traditional culture of arts and crafts in Hangzhou. It strives to become a "display window", "communication platform" and "industry bridge" for arts and crafts and intangible cultural heritage protection through the collection and display of historical and cultural relics and modern Chinese fine artworks, the demonstration and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage by art masters, and rich and novel public activities. After more than a decade of development, it has become a national-level themed museum that integrates the protection and re-use of industrial relics, the inheritance of arts and crafts as well as folk art, the protection of intangible culture, and social and public cultural services. It is a professional museum for all that is characterized by features of Hangzhou and the Grand Canal.
