The Museum of Ceramic Art, Hyogo opened in 2005 and is located in "Tambayaki-no-Sato", a region registered as a Japan Heritage containing one of Six Ancient Kilns. It has the joint aims of promoting ceramic and porcelain culture and deepening exchange between individuals through these arts. As well as holding four special yearly exhibits to introduce ceramics and porcelain ware from Japan and around the world, the museum also collects materials and performs investigative research. It also proactively works to educate people about these two forms of art. Its efforts include cultivating individuals that will become the next generation of artists, collaborating with schools, holding ceramics workshops and classes on ceramic culture, etc. The museum also collaborates with the local area to hold events, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the Tambayaki-no-Sato area.
