In its fully renovated setting, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum holds the largest collection of Limoges porcelain in the world. It also contains representative works from the key stages in the history of ceramics. The museum route follows a journey through time that starts in Antiquity and crosses continents and civilisations, leading visitors towards the most recent designs. Everyone can marvel at the virtuosity of the masterpieces on display in an area dedicated to manufacturing techniques. The Adrien Dubouché National Museum and its prestigious collections thus contribute to the international reputation of ceramic arts and the promotion of the exceptional know-how that has made Limoges so famous.

During our time in France, we visited the Musee National Adrien Duboche which is the national porcelain museum several times. The porcelain art on display is truly world-class and worth the visit or several visits. Additionally, their educational exhibits are outstanding showing the porcelain process and the history of porcelain from ancient middle-eastern and Japanese displays to completely modern exhibits. Quite honestly, I knew literally nothing about porcelain but was absolutely amazed and entranced by the art and the exhibits. I cannot encourage you enough to visit the museum it's well worth the trip. As I said, we went several times and enjoyed every visit and always found something additional to catch the eye. DO GO AND ENJOY, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

Cet établissement culturel de la Ville de Limoges illustre les valeurs citoyennes et solidaires portées par la Résistance pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dédié à tous ceux qui se sont sacrifiés pour défendre les valeurs fondamentales de la République, il a pour vocation de faire vivre la mémoire en offrant un lieu pédagogique et de diffusion de l’information, notamment pour le jeune public. Il propose sur 1400 m2 un parcours muséographique retraçant rigoureusement les faits historiques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et particulièrement la Résistance, l’occupation et la déportation en Haute-Vienne.
