About
Korte feiten: The collection spans thousands of years with ceramics, calligraphy and maritime artifacts displayed side by side, revealing details of coastal life and craftsmanship. Natural light pours into the galleries through arched skylights and glass walls, and afternoon sun casts warm golden highlights on glazes and rice paper.
Hoogtepunten: In the gallery there is a Song dynasty celadon plate labeled A032, 32 centimeters in diameter, its glaze mint green and covered in fine craquelure; under light it looks as if flowing water moves across the surface. Tour volunteers give small demonstrations allowing up to six visitors to observe the glaze reflections with a flashlight, and up close you can smell a faint earthiness of old pottery and the scent of aged glue.
Insider tips
- Arrive when doors open to tour popular rooms before school groups and tour buses arrive.
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span multiple floors and require steady walking.
- Photography without flash is usually allowed, but follow signs banning tripods and flash in sensitive rooms.
- Confirm last entry time and the temporary exhibition schedule, then allow extra time for the museum shop and any onsite displays.
