Hetjens-Museum

If you love ceramics, you should definitely go there. Museum was the collection of Laurenz Heinrich Hetjens, who donated his belongings to Düsseldorf. Museum has a wide collection of different cultures from Africa, Asia, Anatolia and Europe. The views from the windows are nice. The set ups are beautifully decorated and have brochures about the tables and the content.

A beautiful museum with very interesting events and classes! Competent and friendly staff - check it out!

1. English and German texts in the display cases and on many walls. 2. Graceful data visualization. 3. The windows frame the old town charms and make them part of the museum experience, thanks to prime location and meandering layout. 4. Inspiring presentation and juxtaposition of cultures. 5. 3 hours (minimum) recommended for those interested in the theme and love reading the background info. 6. The self-service locker cabinets on the ground floor take both 1 euro and 2 euro coins. You get the coins back as you unlock. 7. Great for raining days, though not a waste of sun on a sunny day, either. 8. A Cool and relaxing walk from the Heinrich-Heine subway (U-bahn) station, or from the Poststrasse tram station (line 709 and 706).

Amazing ceramic museum with a great collection that has something from all over the world. The staff is great and the building itself has a lot of history behind it. We couldn't see it in one go, since there is a lot to see. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Düsseldorf.

It’s only for those who are interested in History about ceramic & appreciate them

Went there during the night of museums. I loved the interactive crafting places, you could design your own hand fan or take part in a cosplay event. If you like keramics this would be the place to go.

Ceramic museum, with historical BC to artsy contemporary pieces. Stuff from all over the world. You only come here only if you like ceramics. The museum goes through ancient use of clay up to the present time. Lots of beer mugs and a lot more, China, Japan, French, Byzantine, Turkish, lslamic and more. Porcelain plates and a few very contemporary ceramic pieces. Once again, come here only if you love the history of clay and porcelain.Great view on the street from window

What an delightful Ceramics Museum with historical information on the evolution of ceramics over the ages, then in Europe. Inexpensive. Was more extensive that we originally thought.
