The Old Museum of Wisteria

The Old Museum of Wisteria displays art and cultural collections across multiple galleries housed in traditional Chinese architecture. The spaces showcase paintings, manuscripts, and objects that reflect the region's heritage.

The museum preserves materials showing the importance of wisteria cultivation during China's Tang and Song dynasties. These periods were crucial for the plant's development and artistic representation in the country.

The name comes from wisteria, a plant deeply connected to Chinese art and poetry traditions. Visitors can observe how local artists have depicted this vine in paintings, poems, and botanical works throughout the collections.

The grounds are easily accessible and open to visitors daily, with plenty of time to walk through and explore the different areas. There is a gift shop and staff available to help make your visit comfortable and informative.

The grounds feature living wisteria plants grown in dedicated gardens, letting visitors see how the vine changes with the seasons throughout the year. These living specimens offer a direct connection to the plant itself that appears in all the historical artworks displayed inside.
