Mirroring time in Ceramics

The National Museum of Ceramics, De Princessehof, in Leeuwarden (Netherlands) presents ceramics as the cultural memory of the 20th century. The exhibition 'The 20th century – mirroring time in ceramics' tells the story of the previous century through approximately 400 ceramic objects, ranging from avant-garde to mass-produced objects. 

The ceramic objects are complemented by objects from other fine and applied art disciplines, and include furniture, paintings, a jukebox and even an original caravan from 1960. There are also film footage and historical photographs, which locate the ceramic objects in time. 

The exhibition can be seen from 5 September 2015 until 3 July 2016.
