The permanent exhibitions "Old Ceramics of Kyushu" and "Contemporary Ceramics of Kyushu" have been refreshed with new displays.

We update our displays of our permanent exhibitions showcasing ceramics from Kyushu and Okinawa spanning the Edo period to modern times, alongside works by contemporary ceramic artists active throughout kyushu. The museum regularly rotates its exhibits.

This time, we have completely replaced the collection of old ceramics from various regions of Kyushu, including Karatsu ware and Nabeshima ware from Saga Prefecture, Hasami ware and Mikawachi ware from Nagasaki Prefecture, Takatori ware and Agano ware from Fukuoka Prefecture, Yatsushiro ware and Shodai ware from Kumamoto Prefecture, and Satsuma ware from Kagoshima Prefecture. Additionally we have replaced some pieces from the contemporary collection, including works by members of the Japan Art Academy and holders of Important Intangibble Cultural Properties (Living National Treasures).

We look forward to your visit.
