Visited for the exhibit ‘Celadon Masterpieces from China and Korea’ in September 2025. They also house a permanent collection of amazing Korean ceramics from the Rhee Byung-Chang Collection. If possible, check out moco-chan, an adorable Korean tiger they’ve animated from a piece of porcelain from the second half of the 18th century in the current exhibit.

This is a world class museum. People should not be deterred if they think they don't know a lot about ceramics. The information provided in English is comprehensive and allows you to fully enjoy the entire exhibition. The space itself is amazing. Enjoy the viewing rooms overlooking the river.

The exhibition of special Chinese works was amazing. The Japanese pieces are also worth seeing. Inside, there are places to sit.

A beautiful museum for those interested in ceramics and Chinese and Japanese culture. Some items date back to B.C., which is quite impressive. The museum is also equipped with a highly advanced anti-earthquake system. Photography is allowed. No need to buy tickets in advance. They accept both card and cash and there is also a locker room to store your items for 100 yen.

The best museum I visited in Osaka! The artworks definitely deserve my second visit!! I will spend my whole day there observing the beautiful and breathtaking pottery and porcelain. The staff are professional and friendly. And the cafe, with a nice view, offers delicious desserts and beverages. Bought too much stuff at the store cuz they look so good!

It’s bigger than I expected and the collection covers ceramic art pieces in Japan, Korea and China. I was hoping to see more artwork in different regions in Japan, but I guess the focus is more on the representative ceramics in these countries.

Several floors of ceramic displays from fairly modern to hundreds of years old (13th century). All well laid out with Japanese and English descriptions. Convenient to get to and next to a beautiful walk along the river. The ceramic displays are quite remarkable!
