Porzellanwelten Leuchtenburg, Porcelain museum in Leuchtenburg Castle, Thuringia, Germany
The Porzellanwelten museum contains seven exhibition areas dedicated to porcelain art across 3,000 square meters within a medieval hilltop castle.
During the 1980s, the regional museum at Leuchtenburg Castle displayed a collection of traditional Thuringian porcelain, leading to the current specialized institution.
The exhibition spans from ancient Chinese porcelain manufacturing techniques through European developments to 21st-century high-performance ceramics in themed rooms.
The museum operates daily from April to October between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and from November to March between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
The museum holds two porcelain world records: an eight-meter-high vase and a miniature teapot measuring only 3x3x4 millimeters.
