Description

The Majolica Porcelain Manufactory Museum is a unique German porcelain workshop that survived the crises of the last century and is still in operation. It was founded in 1901 thanks to the energy of artists Hans Thoma and Wilhelm Süs.

Visitors are guided through the transformations of the 19th and 20th centuries with the help of countless exhibitions, which range from art nouveau to expressionism, Nazi art, the trends of the 1950s and 1960s and the direction of contemporary art movements. In addition to ceramics, the museum contains different staged scenes to reflect the variety of items produced by the workshops, such as a room depicting the Berlin Admiralspalast.
