Chaozhou Museum

Chaozhou Museum is a multi-story building with displays of regional artifacts, handmade objects, and historical documents from Guangdong. The floors hold ceramic pieces, woodcarvings, musical instruments, and written records from different periods.

The museum opened in 1959 as the first major cultural institution dedicated to preserving the region's heritage. Since then it has become a central collection point documenting the area's past and traditions.

The collections show ceramics and woodcarvings that reflect the artistic traditions and craftsmanship still valued in the region today. You can see how traditional instruments and handmade objects fit into daily life here.

The site is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours in several languages. The displays are clearly labeled, so you can walk through at your own pace or join an organized tour.

The collection holds porcelain pieces from the Ming Dynasty that show how valued ceramic art was in this region. The detailed displays about tea ceremony history are particularly worth seeing, since this practice is still part of daily life today.
