Traveler reviews
Valentina De Luca
★★★★★3 years agoThis museum was an absolute gem! The collection is really impressive, and is displayed in an exquisite way! I truly enjoyed learning so much about the different ceramics styles. Some pieces are extremely rare... what a pleasure to see them all reunited in this place! Highly recommended if you are interested in it!
Lee Hoon
★★★★★7 years agoBest Eastern Asian porcelain pieces I have seen my entire life. Far better than the ones in China and Japan! I don't know exactly how Mr. Bauer came to acquire these beautiful works but he surely saved the Chinese ones from destruction by the Communists. Highly recommend!
