Musée de la Faïence et de la Céramique
Travel to the heart of a tradition, learn the techniques and experiment with materials.
Situated between Le Mans and Angers, in the heart of the Sarthe Valley, the Musée de la Faïence et de la Céramique, a cultural player and living museum, is a place of remembrance where almost 5,000 pieces showcase the history of ceramics through the production of Malicorne and Maine. Today, the museum is part of the modern museum dynamic, and its visitor itinerary has been adapted to become a place where artistic practices are brought to life, a place of experimentation and intergenerational sharing around the arts and ceramics, one of the most prestigious of the Art of Fire.Contact
