First Sundays of the month Guided tour

On Sunday, October 5 at 10:30 am, join the guided tour “From Kaolin to Decoration: The Crafts of Porcelain from Past to Present.” Trace the fascinating journey of this material, from its extraction to the delicate art of decoration. Many different skills are involved in creating a porcelain piece—discover their characteristics, their evolution since the 18th century, and the techniques that continue to keep this unique craft alive.

On Sunday, October 5 at 2:30 pm and Sunday, December 7 at 10:30 am, take part in a guided tour dedicated to the history of "Limoges porcelain". Representing more than a third of the museum’s collections, it spans over 250 years of creation, from 1771 to the present day. Immerse yourself in this extraordinary story through the world’s most extensive public collection!

On Sunday 7 December at 2.30pm, in partnership with the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Limoges, join the guided tour entitled "Let's celebrate 100 years of Art Deco!". For this occasion, several works from the museum are on display at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Limoges. Discover them in the exhibition ‘Faire moderne’ (Making Modern), then come to the Musée national Adrien Dubouché for a tour and workshop open to all. Observe the details of the 1925 tableware, then decorate a Limoges porcelain plate inspired by this colourful artistic movement.
