Wenzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum

Patrimonio cultural

The Wenzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum is a thematic museum gathering the city's protected traditions under one roof, with dedicated halls for indigo calico, dragon boats, Ou kilns and shell-carving, and eleven district branches, systematically presenting over a hundred items from Ou embroidery, Ou opera and Yongjia Kunqu to wooden movable-type printing, a one-stop window onto Wenzhou as a "land of heritage." The city holds several UNESCO items and dozens of national-level projects, ranking among the top prefectural cities in China for heritage resources.

Visita: Inside the museum one finds the colour of Ou embroidery needles, the pear-wood type of movable-type printing and the indigo vats of calico dyeing; regular live demonstrations and hands-on sessions led by inheritors let visitors touch the Ou-Yue craftsman's heart, an ideal stop for families and cultural travellers alike.
