Museo Nazionale della Ceramica Duca di Martina, Ceramics museum in Villa Floridiana, Naples, Italy.
Museo Nazionale della Ceramica Duca di Martina is a ceramics museum located within Villa Floridiana, a neoclassical mansion in Naples. The displays spread across multiple floors and feature decorative ceramics and porcelain from different regions and time periods.
The villa was built in 1815 as a royal residence for the Bourbon court and later transformed by King Ferdinand IV for his wife. The shift toward becoming an art collection space happened to preserve and display important works for future generations.
The collection reflects how ceramics from Asia were brought to Europe and valued by wealthy families. Visitors can observe how these pieces were displayed and treasured in aristocratic homes during past centuries.
The museum is open on specific weekdays, so plan your visit according to the schedule before arriving. The building sits on a hillside, so be prepared for stairs and varied floor levels throughout the spaces.
The gardens surrounding the building contain unusual plant species, including camellias and pines, that create a natural setting around the art. These outdoor spaces were intentionally designed to combine the viewing of ceramics with time spent among greenery.
