About Yingge Ceramics Museum and Pottery Old Street

Yingge's Ceramics Museum and Pottery Old Street offer complementary introductions to a town shaped by ceramic production. The museum provides historical and artistic interpretation, while the old street concentrates shops, studios and opportunities to examine objects being sold today.

The museum opened in 2000 with pottery and ceramics as its central subject. Its concrete architecture creates a distinct setting for displays about ceramic making and the development of the industry. Exhibition contents and workshop programmes should be checked against the museum's current schedule.

Along the old street around Wenhua Road and Jianshanpu Road, compare practical tableware with decorative and contemporary work. Differences in form, glaze and finish become easier to notice after seeing the museum. A shop's location alone does not establish where every item was made.

What to look for

• Museum interpretation of pottery, kilns and ceramic development.
• The contrast between museum displays and working retail streets.
• Objects with varied forms, glazes and intended uses.
