Recently, the Jiangnan Tinware Museum opened in Hangzhou. This museum located in Qinghefang Historic District is currently the only public-funded private municipal-level professional museum with the theme of tinware in China. In addition to the tinware of the Song Dynasty, the museum also has a rich collection of other cultural exhibits of the Song Dynasty.

With the establishment of the Jiangnan Tin Ware Museum, the Professional Committee of Bronze Cold Weapon Culture Research of Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and People's Association also settled in Qingbo Street.

The first show of the museum is a special exhibition of Song Yun culture to welcome the Asian Games, which uses more than 200 precious cultural relics to truly restore the history and culture, Sino-foreign exchanges, craft aesthetics and valuable humanistic spirit of the two Song Dynasties, especially the Southern Song Dynasty. The more than 200 pieces of Song Dynasty cultural relics exhibited this time are not inferior to those displayed in domestic professional large-scale museums in terms of variety, quality, and extended cultural interpretation.

The exhibits show silver gray, yellow-brown, purple-black, purple-gray, black-brown and other lusters, which are attractive. (Photo/Tide News)

Datong Alley, where the Jiangnan Tinware Museum is located in, was called Shapi Alley in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is the place where workers in Lin'an City gathered and engaged in commercial trade. Traditional crafts are integrated with history and have been passed down here for thousands of years. This museum with the thickness of history and the temperature of the times will build a new platform for citizens and tourists to experience the rich and colorful Song Yun folk culture, and reproduce the history, culture and landscape of Shangcheng District.
