The museum of traditional pottery is located on Kerameikos, the place where the ancient
potters had their workshops, and is the most appropriate location for this museum which
is dedicated to contemporary pottery art. The museum is a renovated 19th-century mansion.
It is a 2 minute walking from the Thession metro station at the heart of the historical
center and across from the jewish synagogue. It includes more than 4,500 ceramic works
of the last three centuries that showcase the art and skills of Greek potters.
The museum also features reconstructions of pottery workshops, organizes seminars and
acts as a documentation centre of every aspect of traditional pottery with an extensive photo
and film archive.
The Museum is open on Monday through Friday from 09.00 to 15.00, Sundays from 10.00 to
14.00 and is closed on Saturday.
