About Ceramics Museum
In the historic city of Rouen, the Ceramics Museum is devoted to the art of faience, for which the city was once famous throughout Europe. Housed in a fine 17th-century mansion, it displays one of the richest collections of Rouen faience in the world — beautifully decorated tin-glazed earthenware in the distinctive blue-and-white and polychrome styles that flourished here from the 16th to the 18th century. From elegant plates and vases to ambitious decorative pieces, the collection reveals the extraordinary skill and creativity of Rouen's potters, alongside ceramics from other great centres. The refined rooms of the historic townhouse make an ideal setting. Elegant, refined and rich in local heritage, the Ceramics Museum of Rouen offers a delightful journey through the beauty of faience and the artistry of a craft that made the city famous, a rewarding cultural stop in the Norman capital.
