National Porcelain Museum Tickets

The name Limoges evokes the art of porcelain. A ticket to the National Porcelain Museum grants access to the largest exhibition of this ceramic in the French city.

What to expect

In 1768, kaolin, a crucial clay for porcelain production, was discovered near Limoges, revealing the secret to China's translucent white ceramic art. This discovery established Limoges porcelain as an international reference point.

The Adrien Dubouché National Porcelain Museum holds the largest public collection of Limoges porcelain globally, along with ceramics from various regions. The exhibition features over 18,000 pottery works, showcasing the evolution of ceramic art from Antiquity to the present.

The four-room gallery is located in an Italian style palace built in the early 1990s, a significant landmark in the city.

Opening hours

The National Porcelain Museum in Limoges is open daily, except Tuesday, from 10 am to 12:30 pm and 2 pm to 5:45 pm.
