About the route

The route begins with the Municipal Museum, founded in 1911. Subsequent stops explore post-war nationalisation, the rebuilding of the exhibitions and a closure caused by damp walls in the former building.

The story continues through the opening of the Regional Museum in 1967 and the adoption of the name Ceramics Museum a year later. The last two stops cover Pückler Palace and the opening of the new premises in 2024 as part of cooperation with Norway’s Telemark Museum.
