Bat Trang National ceramic museum, National ceramic museum in Bat Trang village, Vietnam.
Bat Trang National ceramic museum is an art museum in a village outside Hanoi dedicated to pottery from this region. The buildings themselves are shaped like pottery wheels and use traditional ceramic materials in their facades to honor the craft.
This museum was founded in the early 21st century and documents the long history of ceramic production that stretches back many centuries in this village. It shows how production methods and styles have evolved from ancient times to the present day.
The ceramics on display show how craftspeople in this village have refined their techniques across generations and what role pottery plays in daily community life. You can see how deeply this craft is woven into the village's identity.
The museum is a short distance from Hanoi and can be visited most days, with long hours of operation that cover both morning and evening. When you arrive, wear comfortable shoes since there are multiple floors and many exhibition areas to walk through.
The museum's architecture is distinctive because it mimics the design of pottery wheels, with the outer walls decorated using traditional ceramic and mosaic tiles. This design choice shows how the buildings themselves are works of craft, not just the objects inside.
