Namwon Traditional Lacquer Craft Center is a lacquer crafts exhibition hall that opened in 2004 to spread lacquer culture, research on lacquer technology, and foster the younger generations. In Namwon, lacquer woodworking has been developed since ancient times, and traces of lacquerwork from the Bronze Age were discovered here. Accordingly, this craft center was built to establish Namwon as a central city for lacquer crafts through continuous research and development. This two-story center consists of an exhibition hall, a store, an experience room, a laboratory, an audio-visual education room, and a training room. The exhibition hall displays awardwinning craft works and various lacquered crafts such as bowls, furniture, spoons and chopsticks, cabinets with flower and grass designs, tables, janggu (hourglass-shaped drum) sticks, and utensils used in ancestral rites. In addition, it operates experience programs for the general public and a store that sells lacquer crafts.
