The museum is a non-governmental museum primarily known for its collection of Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties porcelain. Although it is not large in scale, it houses a considerable number of precious artifacts.
The museum covers an area of 1,200 square meters and houses over 800 pieces of porcelain. The exhibition areas are divided into three floors: the first floor displays ancient furniture arrangements, the second floor showcases Ming and Qing dynasties porcelain, Zibo kiln porcelain, tea and wine ceramics, and ceramic tile specimens, and the third floor exhibits wooden carvings, replica bronze artifacts, and other miscellaneous items.
The museum staff shares about the development of Chinese ceramics and explains the various uses of different ceramic vessels. [Photo provided to shandong.chinadaily.com.cn]
