Regional Museum of Pottery

The Regional Museum of Pottery displays ceramic works spanning multiple centuries with focus on the handcraft techniques of Umbria. The collection includes vessels, decorative pieces, and functional items that show how potters passed their skills across generations.

The museum arose from early 20th-century efforts to document and preserve local pottery traditions, which had deeply shaped the region's economy. This collection work helped the community secure its craft heritage for future generations.

Pottery holds deep roots in the local craftsmanship culture and continues to shape the community's identity today. Visitors see not only finished pieces but understand how ceramic traditions remain woven into the region's everyday life and economy.

The museum operates most days of the week with a midday closure, so plan your visit accordingly. Groups often find better conditions during morning visits when fewer people are present.

The museum displays the tools and materials that show the complete pottery-making process from raw clay to finished ceramic. Visitors can follow how craftspeople carried out each step from clay preparation to final glazing.
