Nat︠s︡ionalʹnyĭ muzeĭ-zapovidnyk ukraïnsʹkoho honcharstva v Opishnomu

The National Museum-Reserve of Ukrainian Pottery spans multiple buildings containing thousands of ceramic pieces representing regional styles and techniques from across Ukraine.

Established in 1986, the museum preserves the legacy of Opishnia, where over 1000 potters created internationally recognized ceramics during the early 20th century.

The collection demonstrates traditional pottery methods including rizhkuvannia painting and fliandrivka techniques, which define the artistic identity of Ukrainian ceramics.

Visitors can participate in pottery workshops and attend demonstrations Tuesday through Sunday, with specialized courses available through the Collegium of Arts.

The museum maintains living traditions through its connection to grey clay deposits that, when fired, produce the characteristic light yellow color of Opishnia pottery.
