Tushanwan

Tushanwan (Chinese: 土山灣, French romanisation: Tousèwè, T'ou-Sè-Wè) was the name of a Jesuit-run orphanage and workshops in Shanghai from the 1860s to the 1940s. The workshops taught the orphaned boys vocational skills, and were of such high quality (with imported machinery and visiting tutors), that they offered the first training in Western arts and crafts in China,^[1] and had a significant influence on Chinese artists in the twentieth century. The Tushanwan Museum was opened in the former orphanage building on 12 June 2020.
