As a leading porcelain city, Limoges was duty bound to honour this tradition with a museum about the history of porcelain and the collections that have helped to build its reputation all around the world.
Attached to the Sèvres and Limoges Ceramic Museum since 2012, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum was founded in 1845 and has the world's biggest collection of Limoges porcelain.
It contains 18,000 artefacts, of which 5,000 are permanent exhibits, documenting the porcelain-making process and the history of ceramics from Antiquity to the present day. You are sure to appreciate the circular trail that takes you seamlessly around the museum, ending in the department dedicated to Limoges porcelain.
The public can also visit the library, whose original collection was intended for students of the National School of Decorative Arts in Limoges that was founded by Adrien Dubouché, as well as a documentation centre.
International temporary exhibitions and regular activities take place all year round at the museum.
