Ever wondered how ancient craftsmanship meets modern creativity? The Cloisonné Art Museum of China in Beijing is like a time machine for art lovers, blending 600+ years of history with jaw-dropping design. From royal treasures to hip reinterpretations, this cultural hotspot reveals why cloisonné—the ‘blue jewelry’ of Chinese art—still slays today. 🏺
Walk through galleries showcasing how artisans layer copper, wire, and vibrant enamels into UNESCO-recognized masterpieces.
