Craft museums for makers, materials, and skilled hands
Craft museums can explain skill through tools, materials, workshops, traditions, design, labour, and the relationship between maker and object. Their value often comes from process, not just finished works.
This guide focuses on museums where craft is interpreted with respect for technique, cultural context, material knowledge, and the visitor's ability to understand how things are made.
