Zhenjiang Folk Culture and Art Museum

The Zhenjiang Folk Culture and Art Museum is a national AA-level tourist attraction.

The Zhenjiang Folk Culture and Art Museum (Zhenjiang Folk Culture and Art Database), established in 1989, is located at No. 207 Changjiang Road. It is China's first public non-profit institution dedicated to exploring, collecting, displaying, developing, and researching regional folk culture.

The first floor includes studios of folk artists, a comprehensive folk art performance hall, a sales area for folk artworks, travel souvenirs, and local specialties, as well as a resource-sharing network room for folk culture projects and a back-projection screening room. The second floor features the "Folk Art Exhibition of the Legend of the White Snake," the "Zhenjiang Folk Art Masterpieces Exhibition," and the "Zhenjiang Folk Culture and Art Database."

These spaces collectively showcase nearly a thousand exquisite folk artworks handcrafted by nearly one hundred folk artists from Zhenjiang, as well as tens of thousands of volumes of folk culture monographs and materials collected from over 20 provinces and cities across the country, along with more than 800,000 precious manuscripts. Nearly a hundred of the exhibited masterpieces were created by local folk artists in the past 20 years. The main types include Zhengze embroidery, machine embroidery, rural embroidery, tie-dye painting, copperplate color painting, pyrography, glass carving, egg carving, micro-carving, stone carving, root carving, clay sculpture, dough modeling, stamp collage art, paper-cutting, bamboo weaving, and bamboo flutes. We believe that after your visit, you will gain a deeper understanding of these artists’ pursuit of beauty and enjoy the aesthetic experience they offer.
