Candle Story House Introduction
"Little candles, big transformation"! The originally matte candles have now turned sparkling; transforming into the "Matsu DIY Candle Story Museum," injecting vitality into Taiwan's traditional industry. From the 1970s to 1990s, it was the heyday of glass factories, and Matsu was originally a glass production factory. During that time, candle-making in glass jars became popular, and production was self-sustained; in the 1990s, the glass industry began to decline, leading Matsu to shift towards producing artistic candles. Among them, the wax figures sold best in Europe and the United States, even attracting traders interested in buying exclusive rights. However, due to cheap dumping from China, the overseas market shrank, forcing Matsu to reluctantly abandon wax figures. While developing new products, the owner, Mr. Chen, began to think, "The candle factory must transform!" He envisioned a candle factory suitable for parent-child DIY activities, designing candles that children could doodle on. "I hope that families coming to Matsu will leave with a lot of joy and satisfying gains!" Thus, the name "Matsu" came into being! In 2015, it received certification from the Miaoli County government as a story museum, hoping to share more stories and beauty about candles with the public nationwide! The Matsu DIY Candle Story Museum embodies the culture and art of candles, showcasing thousands of festive candles exported to various countries to help people understand candle knowledge. In addition to parent-child candle painting DIY activities, the museum also offers guided tours of the candle-making process. We warmly welcome both adults and children to come treasure hunting at the Matsu DIY Candle Story Museum!
