FAIENCE MUSEUM - WINTER GARDEN

Museum

Présentation

Sarreguemines earthenware in all its states! The discreet facade of this town centre building hides its game well! On the first floor, the museum conceals a real treasure classified as a historical monument, almost unsuspected from the outside. If you had been a distinguished guest in 1882, you would probably have been received by Paul de Geiger, the emblematic director of the Sarreguemines earthenware factory, in his magnificent Winter Garden decorated with earthenware tiles. Today, this beautiful house transformed into a museum can be visited all year round. Young and old alike can discover the most beautiful examples of Sarreguemines' internationally renowned earthenware production from the 19th and 20th centuries. One thing is certain, you will see a lot! And don't forget to end your visit with a little diversions to the earthenware kiln... of course! This enormous 11-metre high brick dome is located outside the museum. The ultimate witness of the first industrial revolution still has many secrets to reveal! Free admission on the first Sunday of each month and during the Christmas Market
