Museo regionale della ceramica

The Museo Regionale della Ceramica is a museum in Caltagirone dedicated to ceramic arts and displays several thousand objects from different periods. The exhibition includes vessels, tiles, and decorative pieces that document the history of pottery making in Sicily.

The museum was founded in 1965 to preserve the region's significant ceramic tradition. Since its establishment, it has grown into an important institution for documenting and protecting Sicily's ceramic heritage.

The collection displays techniques and patterns that local potters still use in their workshops today. You can see how traditional shapes and decorations continue in contemporary production around the city.

The museum is easily accessible and provides entry for visitors with limited mobility. A visit allows you to explore the collections in a comfortable setting at your own pace.

The museum operates its own restoration laboratory where experts work on damaged ceramic pieces. This workshop shows how traditional techniques and modern knowledge come together to preserve artworks.
