Keramik-Museum Berlin, Art museum in Charlottenburg, Germany.
Description
The Keramik-Museum Berlin is an art museum in Charlottenburg housed in a townhouse from the 18th century. The collection encompasses ceramic objects of different types and periods, ranging from everyday vessels to artistic sculptures and decorative architectural pieces.
History
The building was constructed in 1712 by royal architect Eosander von Göthe for Frederick I of Prussia. It originally served as a residential townhouse before being converted into a museum to display ceramic art.
Culture
The collection features works by renowned ceramic artists whose styles shaped the development of the craft. Visitors can observe how ceramic art evolved across different movements and periods.

Did you know?
In the 1980s the building faced demolition, but local residents and art supporters prevented this through public action. The subsequent restoration used traditional 18th-century materials and construction methods to preserve the original character of the structure.
