See porcelain through the shape of a kiln 景德镇御窑博物馆
The museum’s long brick vaults reinterpret the kilns behind Jingdezhen’s porcelain history. Architecture and ceramic objects give you two ways into the same story. Looking at the collections is a different experience from making pottery; choose a specific workshop separately if you want hands-on time. Use the museum to develop an eye for shape, surface and firing before shopping or taking a class. If architecture is the main attraction, give the brick spaces and the collection separate attention; an exterior photograph does not replace seeing the objects. For a single day, choose this museum plus one market or one booked workshop, not all three at full length.
