Hetjens Museum and its collection

The Hetjens - Deutsches Keramikmuseum is a museum of ceramic history in Düsseldorf. Because of the up to 8000 years old pieces that originate from all parts of the world in the museum's collection, it is considered the most universal institute of its kind. The permanent exhibition shows the world of ceramics from prehistory to today. The highlights of the collection are ancient and pre-Columbian ceramics, rare stoneware vases, Islamic ceramics, faience and majolica pieces, contemporary artist's ceramics, valuable porcelain and the Asia department. An eye-catcher is a reconstructed Islamic ceramic dome from Pakistan.
