Suzhou Arts and Crafts Museum
Suzhou Arts and Crafts Museum Review
The highlight here is watching artists in action. They carve jade, cut latticework fans from thin sheets of sandalwood, and fashion traditional calligraphy brushes. Perhaps most amazing is the careful attention to detail of the women embroidering silk. The attached shop is a good place to pick up quality crafts.
