While in Xian we visited the Tangbo Art Museum where we discovered an extensive display of Chinese art from various periods and in a variety of styles. We had a guided tour in English that was most interesting and informative. This was followed by a demonstration of calligraphy where we were invited to try for ourselves (with varying levels of success!). They also have for sale a wide variety of paintings by local students. These are of high quality and reasonably priced - no hard sell however.Well worth a visit!
唐朝果然是一个豪放的朝代,什么东西都显得特别大气,让人欣赏的痛快。那种飘逸的艺术感确实很美。来到这里,似乎回到了大唐,强盛的大唐确实让人缅怀。
高手在民间呀,陕西民间的剪纸艺术也被放在这里进行讲解。有十二生肖的,里面最喜欢小猴子了,在摘桃子吃呢,特别的俏皮可爱,还有传统的中国龙,贴窗花,小胖娃娃,绣花的姑娘,很多种生活中常见的都能剪出来。还有毛笔的制作过程,太开眼界了。
This art museum is quite hard to find,but we found that it is a wonderful one.Our guide there named Lisa was so nice and knowledgable ,we learned so much from her,the hi lights came to the calligraphy,we were taught to use brush to practice calligraphy,that was so intresting,both my wife and me did our masterpiece,and we decided to frame it and take it back home.In a word,this is a museum that you should not miss,wonderful.
There isn't anything I didn't like about this museum. Few tourists drop by but the curator does a great job of covering folk art in Shaanxi province. Shadow puppetry, painting, paper cutting, and mask making were just a few crafts the curator discussed.
We had a fascinating tour of the museum and learnt so much about Chinese art through the ages.It was great fun learning to write the alphabet Chinese characters on rice paper with a brush and ink.We felt a bit pressured to buy a painting.
and you need to pay to the paint you want - the problem is that students paint and they put some recommended price - but the recommended price is too high for most of the paints - you need to argue a lot in order to get better price. (By the way - beautiful pictures)
This small, unpretentious art museum provides a light-hearted look at local artwork in a variety of styles, from farmer / folk art to serious provincial Chinese still-life and calligraphy. The gallery guide however, has a great sense of humour and moves the tour along at a sensible pace and with natty commentary. At the end of the tour you get a brief introduction to writing Chinese characters with a tradition Mao bi - a goats hair brush. The guide will show you how to perform the 8 basic brush strokes and try your hand at a couple of simple characters. It's a lot of fun, particularly if you have a couple of kids in tow.You will be invited to buy some local art. It ranges in price from quite cheap to expensive. A good way to spend an hour or so.
Decided to have a look at this museum after browsed Tripadvisor, but we have been refused to enter because we were not part of any tourist group—even we were willing to pay.It’s at middle of nowhere; it was long way to get there. This museum looked spooky as well, not our lost for not being able to visit.
We came here afterreadinf the trip advisor reviews and were soooooo pleased. The kind and patient lei ling showed us Chinese folk art and taught us some calligraphy! It was so interesting and fun , but hard to find so ask your hotel to write down the address in Chinese to show the taxi or rickshaw driver. Lei ling was so cute and I'd r reccomend this to anyone who is interested in calligraphy or just Chinese art and culture. We loved it. And buy a painting at the end to support them, there are lots ranging in price from 80¥ upwards.go here!
