Housed in the Palace of Pedralbes since 1990, the Ceramics Museum of Barcelona was founded in the year 1966.

Exceptional works of Spanish ceramic art are part of the permanent collection. These pieces are quit unique and have a high artistic value. All the ceramic pieces came from preservation of archeological remains and private collections. The pieces that are of a special interest are the ones from the Almohade period, Catalonia and Valencia, the objects in the Mudéjar style from Aragon, the Morisco crockery from Paterna and Manises, the polychrome tile work and tableware form Spain’s Golden Age, some example from the Rococco period of Alcora and a few creations from contemporary artists.

Thanks to the great value of the collection, the museum is enjoying a lot of international prestige and has been internationally recognized as a leading centre for study of traditional and contemporary ceramic arts
