The exhibition connects nine European museums which hold significant collections of ceramics in their collections. Each of them has assessed and analyzed the role of ceramics in the life of their own country over the centuries. Each country has unique characteristics, tastes and artistic tendencies, which are continuously formed under the influence of innovation and demands of each period.
The aim of this project is to document the use of ceramics in different European geographical, historical and cultural contexts, starting from the Baroque period to the present day, with reference to future challenges. The exhibits have been selected not only because they constitute a certain overview of the history of ceramics, but also as indicators of socio-anthropological characteristics of each century. The review and selection of items - in terms of shapes, decorations and functionality - indicate the progress, growth and development of one era and the nation.
The exhibition explores the tradition of ceramics with a desire to encourage the knowledge of our present situation, starting from ceramic manufacturing for everyday use to great artistic and biotechnological possibilities of contemporary ceramics.
