The museum offers a chronological and thematic route in ten rooms to discover Desvres ceramic activity from the end of the 17th to the beginning of the 21st century. An ancient pottery city, Desvres has a skilled workforce very early on, thanks to which the art of earthenware is permanently established from the mid-1760s. Under the impetus of the Fourmaintraux, the 19th century saw the development of this industry and the birth of many local manufactures. It was during the following century that Desvres established itself as an important ceramic producing center, with the large companies Fourmaintraux, Géo Martel and Masse. Nowadays, the activity continues, digging the vein of undisputed know-how. Pottery, earthenware, stoneware and porcelain follow one another in a rich presentation of about 700 pieces. This multitude of amazing, shimmering and often spectacular objects is offered to the visitor in new scenographic spaces.
