The Casseaux Museum houses the Casseaux Kiln, built in 1904 and which today is a Historical and Technical site dedicated to the porcelain of Limoges. This 19th-century industrial building traces the evolution of manufacturing and testifies to the difficulties and successes in this quest for fire control.

The presence of period machines diffuses an authentic atmosphere whose centerpiece is discovered in its heart: the oven of the Casseaux.
