Lukang Folk Arts Museum Introduction
The Gu family, in order to preserve the traditional culture of Lukang and based on the philosophy of "taking from society, using for society," donated their ancestral land, buildings, furniture, utensils, and collections in 1973, simultaneously establishing a non-profit organization for long-term management and operation, creating a culturally distinctive museum for local artifacts.
The museum is divided into two buildings, including a traditional Minnan-style building with a history of 200 years called "Gufeng Building," and a nearly 100-year-old Baroque-style building from the late Renaissance period known as the "Western Building." The museum houses over 6,000 collections, primarily focusing on folk artifacts from the mid-Qing Dynasty to the early Republic era, showcasing various aspects of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment, religious rituals, and festival celebrations, all on display.
Minnan-style Ancient Building - The Ancient Building is an 18th-century brick and wooden structure, showcasing the traditional Minnan architectural style. It exudes an ancient charm and reflects the profound aura of deep courtyards, making it a great place to appreciate the traditional Minnan mansions.
