Permanent and temporary exhibitions here reflect developments in ceramic art in Marseilles and Provence - as well as in France and Europe - from the Neolithic period to the modern day. On display are items from a variety of French potteries, including pieces by the Clérissy, Joseph Fauchier and Leroy workshops. Visitors get a double helping of fabulous local heritage as the museum is a masterpiece in itself - housed in one of the few late 19th-century bastides (Provençal country house) to remain intact. Situated on the city’s south side.
