Meissen, Germany-the birthplace of European porcelain-has celebrated its 300th anniversary of porcelain production in 2010. The exhibition unravels the birth of Western porcelain and all aspects of its 300 years of history by displaying approximately 230 works owned by the Museum of MEISSEN Art, MEISSEN Manufactory.
Featured Exhibition: Korean Ceramics from the Rhee Byung-Chang Collection
Dr. Rhee Byung-Chang (1915-2005) donated his collection of approximately 350 items, mostly comprising Korean ceramics, to our museum, wishing that it will benefit friendship between Japan and Korea, as well as improve the social status of the Korean residents in Japan. In order to fulfill his desire, our museum established the “Rhee Byung-Chang Collection of Korean Ceramics” gallery in 1999, showing the world-class collection of Korean ceramics to the public. This exhibition features Dr. Rhee’s collection in a smaller scale than usual, displaying approximately 20 notable pieces.
