Hangzhou Southern Song Guan Kiln Museum is located in
the west foot of Turtle Hill of Yuhuang Mountain in Hangzhou.
It is at the south brim of West Lake tourist site, and
is the first museum on ceramic constructed above the relic
of ancient kiln.
The ground area of Southern Song Guan Kiln Museum is
about 15,000 square meters, and building area is 4,364
square meters. With the continuing of the excavating and
protecting work of Hangzhou’s historical and cultural
resources, the museum conducted a reconstruction work
of its scale and exhibitions. After reconstruction, the
museum fully displays the charm and specialties of Southern
Song Guan Kiln, which not only represents the historical,
artistic and aesthetic value of official kiln, but reflects
the close relationship between Guan kiln and imperial
culture of Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the social
convention.
The Southern Song Guan Museum is endowed with graceful
environment, elegant display, and affluent connotation.
Since its founding, it well represents and spreads the
Chinese culture of ceramic, knowledge about them, and
the historical countenance of Hangzhou as the ancient
capital of Southern Song Dynasty. Additionally, the museum
is awarded the titles of “Civilized museum in Zhejiang
Province”, and first batch of “Educational base of patriotism”.
Since 18 May of 2003, the museum is open to the public
