3. If time permits, it is best to come on weekdays, and there are fewer opportunities to experience and visit the production line on weekends.
Exposure
The China Cloisonné Museum is located on the third floor of the Beijing Enamel Factory site.
Noble and artistic entrance to the first floor.
Enter through the right door in the picture above. You are greeted by a large LED screen that scrolls with a cloisonné craft promotional video.
The first and second floors are handicraft sales areas, and photography is not allowed. There is a price tag on each piece. Some large-scale works cost millions at a staggering price. The third floor is the real museum, where you can take photos and visit for an unlimited time.
As soon as you go up to the third floor, you will see the big characters "China Cloisonné Art Museum" inscribed by Chang Shana.
The museum is divided into two exhibition halls: east and west. The picture below shows the entrances of the two exhibition halls and the cultural and creative products exhibition cabinet and publicity materials placement cabinet in front of the foyer.
A row of stools is placed at the entrance of the East Hall for visitors to sit and watch the cloisonné process promotional video. The works in the hall show the history and development of China's treasure "cloisonné" on the axis of time, divided into four parts: salvage and restoration, inheritance and development, pioneering and innovation, and corporate honor.
The West Hall is the cloisonné "Treasure Hall". From January 18th to March 17th, there is a heritage exhibition, which displays the best of the best, and some of them feel very shocking.
Walking into the cloisonné museum is like being in a strange fantasy world, where exquisite works of art shine under the light. The children looked left and right, and their eyes were not enough. I remember learning a text about cloisonné when I was a student (exposed age, haha), and finally seeing the "real" cloisonné work after twenty or thirty years, the joy of rushing is still very exciting.
Finally, a leaflet containing the introduction of the museum and the knowledge of cloisonné production technology and maintenance is presented for your reference.
