Universal Tin Art Museum Introduction
The Chen Wan-neng Tin Art Studio is a tin art workshop established by national treasure tin art master Chen Wan-neng and his sons, Chen Chih-yang and Chen Chih-sheng, who are registered as traditional tin art preservers in Taiwan's Craft House and Changhua County. Tin is a metal with a silvery-gray luster, also interpreted as "to give," and tin art involves casting and engraving various utensils using a tin-lead alloy, commonly found in past weddings or religious ceremonies, and has a history of over a hundred years in Taiwan. The town of Lukang experienced a prosperous time starting from the late Qing Dynasty during the Jiaqing era, with as many as six to ten tin shops at one point, and the roads became known as Tin Workshop Street, with apprentices spread throughout the province engaged in the supply of tinware.
