Guangdong Huanya Beauty & Cosmetics Museum

Guangdong Huanya Beauty & Cosmetics Museum

The Guangdong Huanya Beauty & Cosmetics Museum is situated in Guangzhou Science City. It was carefully developed over more than two years by the Hong Kong-funded enterprise Guangzhou Huanya Cosmetics Technology Co., Ltd., and is the first museum in China focused on the history of Chinese beauty and cosmetics. Founded on December 18, 2007, the museum’s new building was inaugurated on September 27, 2012, at the Phase II site of the Huanya Science and Technology Industrial Park. This museum fills a gap in the cosmetics industry’s museum landscape. Centered around the exhibition of China's beauty and makeup history, the museum is divided into six main sections: an overview of Chinese beauty and makeup history, historical makeup styles, historical hairstyles, historical cosmetics and makeup tools, beauty and makeup in New China, and a cosmetics demonstration and experience area. The displays mainly feature physical objects, photographs, paintings, charts, books, models, and textual descriptions, showcasing the most representative makeup products and tools from various periods in Chinese history, as well as a large collection of modern cosmetics rich in ethnic character.
