Ceramic History Museum

Jingdezhen is situated on the eastern bank of the Yangtze River, its reputation as the "porcelain city" dates back as far as the Song dynasty. The city’s famous exhibition of ceramic history is located in the Maple mountain of Jingdezhen's Western suburban area. It was first opened on the 1st October of 1984, and attracts visitors annually from around the world. The museum offers a variety of ancient kiln pieces, ceramic workshops and antique ceramic processing buildings. The ceramic exhibition covers an area of 830,000 square meters which includes the museum and scenic parks filled with beautiful willow tress of various shapes, sizes and colors. The shady trees fill the atmosphere with sweet smelling perfume and Joyful colours, as the combination of humanistic influence and natural beauty combine to make every visit an evocative and memorable experience. The stunning combination of antique architecture from the Ming and Qing dynasty effectively splits the museum in the middle. Both segments of the museum have attached traditional designed gardens and period structures; the Ming garden is enhanced by the ‘Wangbo Residence’ which is a typical Hui style building. However the Qing Garden has the ‘Yuhuantang’ (temple from: 1644-1911) and the 'Dafu Residence' which was utilized by select scholars from the Qing Dynasty. The Museum has a rich assortment of ceramic articles on display from past dynasties, as well as extensive historical information, and artwork such as paintings and calligraphy. Located next to the Qing gardens is a collection of kiln workshops which offer a window into manufacturing process of ceramics. Furthermore the ceramics generated in these workshops are sold in the museums gift shop, so tourists have the opportunity to buy some of the beautiful ceramic creations. October is the best month to visit, for the annual 'Jingdezhen National Ceramic Festival' begins on October 12th and lasts for one month. Jingdezhen holds an annual international ceramic festival in October, so the best time to visit the city is during the one month long annual 'Jingdezhen National Ceramic Festival’.
