Guangzhou Folk Art Museum

Hui stayed with us the whole weekend and helped us understand some of the folk artwork at the museum.
This ship was carved from bone. The detail was amazing. We were all impressed by the beauty of the artwork from this province.
These dragons are done for the Chinese New Year which begins in about a week.
The folk art museum also had some gardens. The museum was a residence for a several generations of a well to do family in Guangzhou.
Here is the family with Hui in front of the museum entrance.
