This museum was established more than 100 years ago and more precisely it was founded in 1908 by Gaetano Ballardini, an art historian of Italian origin.
In 1944, during the following world war, the building suffered a heavy bombing. There were serious and irreparable losses both in the collections and in the archival material.

Questo museo fu istituito più di 100 anni fa e più precisamente fu fondato nel 1908 da Gaetano Ballardini, uno storico dell’arte di origine italiana.
Nel 1944, durante la seguente guerra mondiale, l’edificio subì un pesante bombardamento. Ci furono gravi ed insanabili perdite sia nelle collezioni che nel materiale archivistico.

The internal environments have been redeveloped and the rooms and corridors are large and full of light. On an architectural level, much importance was given to capturing external light to illuminate the internal spaces.
The lines of the internal environments are straight accompanied by curves, this can be seen on the handrails and false ceilings.

Gli ambienti interni sono stati riqualificati e le stanze ed i corridoi sono ampi e pieni di luce. A livello architettonico si è data molta importanza alla cattura della luce esterna per illuminare gli spazi interni.
Le linee degli ambienti interni sono rette accompagnate da curve, questo si nota sui corrimano e sui controsoffitti.

This museum is not just a museum, in fact over time it has also become a large cultural center dedicated to ceramic art.
Inside the building there is a restoration laboratory, a library and an educational laboratory.
Every two years a contemporary art competition is organized in which you can admire modern works of art made with ceramics.
In my opinion some of these works take your breath away

Questo museo non è solo un museo, infatti è diventato con il tempo anche un grande polo culturale dedicato all’arte ceramica.
All’interno dell’edificio c’è un laboratorio di restauro, una biblioteca ed un laboratorio didattico.
Ogni due anni viene organizzato un concorso di arte contemporanea in cui si possono ammirare opere d’arte moderna realizzate con la ceramica.
Secondo me alcune di queste opere tolgono il fiato.

Wow, those look wonderful. The level of detail on a lot of those ceramics are insane. The age of some of them are mind boggling, and they still look well preserved. I guess ceramics aren't affected by time as much. To think that it is a building full of them, that is awesome. Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures.

There were also ceramics from the Hellenistic era before the year zero. The museum itself was beautiful, I mean as an architectural structure. Modern ceramic acultures were equally beautiful. In short, everything in this museum was very beautiful

various kinds of beautiful ceramics are on display there, it is an amazing museum

It is an internationally renowned museum and I must say that it deserves all the fame it has

Questo lo adoro, che bellezza, vedo anche piedi in una delle foto, volevo scherzare, ma meglio di no :)

Confermo che questo vaso piace molto anche a me. Ha delle decorazioni in oro fantastiche

They actually looks so cool

I can confirm that it is a fantastic museum. There are ancient ceramics and the modern ceramic works are breathtaking. Furthermore, the structure is also very beautiful

Those are valuable ceramic, yunno?
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures
Nice one!

Some of these ceramics are very precious. There are some from the Hellenistic era before the year 0. Even those that come from China are very precious because they belonged to the dynasty of the rulers of the past

Grazie per aver condiviso questa tua visita al museo di ceramiche

Nel cuore di Faenza c’è davvero un museo stupendo. Le ceramiche antiche sono misteriose, quelle della Cina meravigliose, le opera d’arte ceramica moderne sono da togliere il fiato, l’ambiente è fantastico perchè l’architettura permette di catturare molta luce dall’esterno e buttarla dentro. Per me è stata un ottima visita.

That looks very cool

In this museum you are always left speechless, looking at the ancient ceramics, looking at the modern works of art and visiting the rooms and corridors of this structure. Thanks for stopping by
