Located in the Panlongshan in the western suburb of Jingdezhen
City, the Ceramic History Museum is a professional ceramic museum
covering an area of about 83 hectares (approx.205 acres), and was
built in 1980.
The museum has a rich collection of over 5,000 articles. The items
on display include ceramics from past dynasties, historical information
about ceramics, precious collections of paintings and calligraphies,
among which many are of excellent quality.
In addition to the wide variety of articles in the exhibition,
the beautiful antique architecture of the museum attracts tourists
too. The antique architecture is in two parts: Ming Garden and Qing
Garden. The 'Wangbo Residence' in Ming Garden is a house in the
typical Hui style. The two most representative buildings in Qing
Garden are the 'Yuhuantang', a memorial temple in the Qing Dynasty
(1644-1911), and the 'Dafu Residence', meaning a residence for scholars
in the Qing Dynasty. The two gardens are composed of ancient kiln-workshops,
ancient kilns, and ancient structures that were originally scattered
throughout Jingdezhen City but have now been collected here by the
government.
Near the Qing Garden are a group of kiln-workshops in which the
ceramics are manufactured. Tourists can not only watch the manufacturing
process and appreciate the elaborate techniques, but also experience
the process themselves. Visitors can buy any beautiful ceramic works
they like.
October is the best month to visit, for the annual 'Jingdezhen
National Ceramic Festival' begins on October 12th and lasts for
one month.
