Museum housing an old 19th century kiln, classified as a historical monument, to learn more about the manufacture of porcelain.

This museum, run by the Espace Porcelaine association, houses a former 19th-century round kiln, listed as a Monument Historique. 20 meters high and 7 meters wide, this remarkably well-preserved vestige, unique in France, gives an idea of the human activity and mastery of fire required to operate this brick monster, which fired 15,000 pieces of porcelain simultaneously. To get the most out of the site, we recommend a guided tour, which is highly instructive.

Visite intéressante et assez rapide, entre une et deux heures. Photos, vidéos et textes permettent des explications parfois un peu technique mais tout de même utiles. Pour des explications complémentaires, l'équipe est disponible, c'est appréciable. Visite non guidée à 4,5€ et 8€ avec guide.

Musée très vivant grâce à la visite guidée qui ne tarit pas d’explications et de détails sur la fabrication de la porcelaine. C’était notre première venue sur Limoges et notre première visite dans un de ses musées.
