Wannian Tin Art Museum Introduction
Chen Wan-Nien Tin Art Studio is a tin art workshop established by the national treasure tin art master Chen Wan-Nien and his sons, including the third son Chen Chih-Yang and the fourth son Chen Chih-Sheng, who are recognized as preservers of traditional tin craftsmanship in Changhua County and registered in the Taiwan Craft Home. Tin is a metal with a silvery-gray luster and is also interpreted as "to grant." Tin craftsmanship involves casting and engraving various utensils with a tin-lead alloy and has a history of over a hundred years in Taiwan. Lugang, in particular, experienced a prosperous period starting from the end of the Qing Jiaqing era, having as many as six to ten tin shops, with the intersection of streets becoming Tin Workshop Street, and apprentices scattered across the province engaged in the supply of tinware.
