Porcelain museum of Klášterec nad Ohří

The Klášterec nad Ohří Porcelain Museum (Czech: Muzeum porcelánu v Klášterci nad Ohří) is a porcelain museum in the Klášterec nad Ohří Castle in Klášterec nad Ohří, Czech Republic. It is affiliated with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (UPM). The site was chosen for the museum because in 1794, the third oldest and second then-still active porcelain factory in the Czech Republic, Thun porcelain factory (closed in 2024), was established here. The interior was restored in 1950–1952. The museum contains around 12,000 exhibits. Part of the exhibition presents porcelain from China and Japan from the UPM collections. The beginning of European production is documented in the next part.
