Musée national de Céramique - Sèvres
The Musée national de Céramique-Sèvres is the French national museum of ceramics. It is located at Place de la Manufacture in Sèvres , Hauts-de-Seine , a suburb of Paris. The founder of the museum was Alexandre Brongniart , director of the Sèvres porcelain factory . The first catalog appeared in 1845; until 1927 the museum belonged to the manufactory.
The museum now contains a wide range of pottery, earthenware, and porcelain from around the world. About ten percent of the approximately 50,000 exhibits come from the Sèvres manufactory.
Today's museum has existed since 2010 through the amalgamation of the Musée national de Céramique-Sèvres and the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres.
