Chen Clan Academy, Folk art museum and ancestral temple in Guangzhou, China.
The Chen Clan Academy contains 19 buildings with nine halls and six courtyards, arranged symmetrically along a north-south axis following traditional Chinese architecture.
Built in 1894 through funding from 72 Chen clan branches, this complex served as accommodation for students preparing for imperial examinations during the Qing Dynasty.
The museum exhibits Guangdong regional folk arts through detailed wood carvings, stone sculptures, pottery figures, and metal engravings throughout its numerous structures.
