Upon entering, you will encounter a vast and astonishing collection. You will be able to admire millennia-old artifacts, as well as contemporary works by artists from every continent.
The museum’s rooms will guide you through a journey of Italian ceramics from the Middle Ages to ancient pieces from the Near East, from Egypt to pre-Columbian and Islamic cultures.
Founded in 1908, the MIC is not only a guardian of the past, but also a living laboratory that looks to the future. Every two years, it hosts the prestigious Faenza Prize, a competition that brings artists from around the world to the city to celebrate both innovation and tradition in this medium.
The museum is a true center for research and study, with a rich specialized library and a restoration laboratory. But it is also a place for sharing and discovery, even for the youngest visitors. Thanks to initiatives inspired by Bruno Munari, children can get their hands on clay and learn to create with spontaneity and fun.
The MIC is a bridge between those who have mastered the craft and those who still want to learn, a place where the past lives in the present and invites slow discovery.
