A ceramics museum is a
museum wholly or largely devoted to
ceramics, usually
ceramic art. Its collections may also include
glass and
enamel, but typically concentrate on
pottery, including
porcelain. Most national collections are in a more general museum covering all of
the arts, or just the
decorative arts. However, there are a number of specialized ceramics museums, with some focusing on the ceramics of just one country, region or manufacturer. Others have international collections, which may be centered on ceramics from Europe or East Asia or have a more global emphasis.
The extensive archaeological excavations at
La Graufesenque, one of the major production centres of
Ancient Roman pottery, are open to the public with a museum on the potteries.
