WebsiteFounded in 1904, the Hetjens Museum's collection comprises of over 10,000 pieces of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain from the Middle East, East Asia, Africa, America, and Europe. The oldest exhibit dates back to 6000 B.C and new pieces by contemporary artists are continually being added to the collection. Although this is one of only four institutes in the world which displays ceramics from every culture and every epoch, the main focus is on Islamic, Mediterranean and far Eastern ceramics as well as baroque-period porcelain. Special exhibitions, tours and ceramic courses are also organized.
