Ceramics Museum Princessehof

I had such a wonderful time here. I'd like to recommend this museum to everyone who is interested in ceramic art. But the museum shop is tiny disappointment.

Everything you ever wanted and didn't know you wanted to know about ceramics, Dutch history and ships

It's worth travelling to Leeuwarden for this museum alone. There are some breathtaking pieces of art on display. You'll learn the history and importance of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain and how it was valued, made and traded over the centuries, and you'll see spectacular examples of pieces from all over the world. Also, M. C. Escher was born in the building. Highly recommended.

As the name of museum says it’s a museum about ceramics! The building it’s nice to experience because the made connection between different old buildings to have more space! For hole collection is more about the typical blue Dutch ceramics and alse Chinese ceramics but there are also a few more from other corners of world! The museum it’s not that big , I guess most of the people can visit it in a few hours!

It's a beautifully designed museum with entertaining and interesting information about everything ceramics. You're certain to gain a new appreciation for the average breakfast mug and the thousands of years of development behind it. It's definitely worth a visit, even if you initially might think it a boring subject.
