200 years after its creation, the National Ceramics Museum houses a world-renowned collection of nearly 50,000 works, gathering together masterpieces from all periods and all corners of the world, as well as contemporary creations and works produced on-site at the Manufacture.
In 1876, the museum’s relocation to a specially built edifice resembling a classical palace on the Seine River, next to the Manufacture, lent the ceramic arts greater international recognition and visibility.
Today, this prestigious museum accords numerous loans to other institutions, both in France and abroad. It also actively participates in the organization of off-site exhibitions.
