Beautiful Autumn Museum of World Scissors
#fallingseason
You may be interested in the scissor museum in Jinan. They claim to be the only scissors museum in the world. The museum is also located at the base of Maisan Mountain and there are trails that lead from the museum into the mountain. There are many scissors and lots of information to take in. Here are some things I learned. The oldest scissors found were sheep sheers from Greece that date to around 1000BC. There are ornate stork scissors used for cutting umbilical cords. The smallest pair of scissors was made by R. Smith Cutler in 1866 and are merely 17mm in length.
If you like this type of museum, you may also be interested in the pencil museum in Donghae or the textbook museum in Sejong.
