Keramikmuseum Mettlach, Ceramics museum in Mettlach, Germany.
The Keramikmuseum Mettlach occupies the first floor of the baroque Old Abbey building and displays chronologically organized collections of porcelain and stoneware pieces. The exhibition presents tableware, architectural ceramics, tiles, sanitary items, and decorative objects spanning different periods.
The museum opened in 1998 as Keravision to mark the 250th anniversary of Villeroy & Boch. It was established to document and share the company's ceramic manufacturing heritage with the public.
The collection displays tableware, tiles, and decorative objects from different periods that shaped daily life across generations. Visitors can see how ceramics were used in homes and kitchens, and what roles these pieces played in everyday routines.
The museum was undergoing renovation and was scheduled to reopen in December 2024 with a new experiential area. Visitors should check current opening hours before visiting to confirm the reopening has taken place.
The visitor cafe is designed in the style of a historical milk shop and offers guests an immersive experience surrounded by ceramic pieces. This recreation lets visitors imagine how such shops functioned and looked in the past.
