Musée national de la porcelaine Adrien Dubouché

The Musée national de la porcelaine Adrien Dubouché is an art museum in Limoges dedicated to the history and craft of ceramics. The galleries display works from different periods and regions, from ancient pieces to modern creations.

The museum was founded in the 19th century and became a national institution in 1881 when Adrien Dubouché donated his entire collection to the French state. This gift established it as one of Europe's most important ceramics museums.

The museum is named after Adrien Dubouché, a collector who shared his passion for ceramics with the city. Walking through the galleries, you see how different cultures developed their own ways of making and decorating porcelain.

The museum is easily accessible with wheelchair-friendly pathways throughout all exhibition areas. Plan to spend at least two hours for a complete visit, as the collection is quite extensive.

The museum includes demonstrations of ceramic-making techniques that show visitors how these delicate objects are created. These direct insights into craftsmanship often surprise visitors with how much skill goes into production.
