I really enjoyed the museum - though I do think to properly appreciate it, you need to have an interest in ceramic making or ceramic patterns. The museum isn't too big but it has a lot of different rooms with interesting artefacts.

As the name of museum says it’s a museum about ceramics! The building it’s nice to experience because the made connection between different old buildings to have more space! For hole collection is more about the typical blue Dutch ceramics and alse Chinese ceramics but there are also a few more from other corners of world! The museum it’s not that big , I guess most of the people can visit it in a few hours!

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with a lot of variety. The exhibition about Maria Louise and Leon Keer's masterpiece were beautiful. The way of exhibiting the pottery treasures from the shipwrecks has also been liked. (Original) Mooi museum met veel variatie. De expositie over Maria Louise en het masterpiece van Leon Keer waren mooi. Ook de manier van exposeren van de aardewerk schatten uit de scheepswrakken is mooi gevonden.

(Translated by Google) Nice and varied museum with all kinds of ceramics, a section about Escher (he lived here) and the history of the royal family and the building. Everything beautifully designed and spacious. (Original) Leuk en gevarieerd museum met allerlei soorten keramiek, een sectie over Escher (hij heeft hier gewoond) en de historie van het koningshuis en het gebouw. Alles mooi vormgegeven en ruim opgezet.

It's worth travelling to Leeuwarden for this museum alone. There are some breathtaking pieces of art on display. You'll learn the history and importance of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain and how it was valued, made and traded over the centuries, and you'll see spectacular examples of pieces from all over the world. Also, M. C. Escher was born in the building. Highly recommended.

Very interesting museum, with quite an impressive permanent collection as well as temporary exhibitions. Visit on open Monumentendag to get in for free!

A great museum with a wide range of Ceramics from all over the planet. But not only that, there's also a great Escher exhibition in the basement. Every floor and room is very accessible with ramps and lifts.

(Translated by Google) The Human after all exhibition turned out to be special. We were particularly impressed by the work of William Cobbing and Mariken Wessels. And a visit to the Escher cellar was also fun. Recommended if you have a museum year card. (Original) De expositie Human after all bleek bijzonder. We waren vooral onder de indruk van het werk van William Cobbing en Mariken Wessels. En een bezoekje aan de Escher kelder was ook leuk. Aanrader als je een museum jaar kaart hebt.

Great museum, very good expositions. Of course not without modern " art" pieces.

Fascinating history about the Princess and ceramics. The staff were friendly as well.

This museum is a must on your "to do" list. It is best 12.50 euro spend ever.

Lovely museum in a beautiful city. A must see if you're into clay! They had a nice exhibition on celebrations in Dutch households from different communities. The permanent collection is interesting as well. The staff is friendly and it has a nice tea room.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum (Original) Prachtig museum

(Translated by Google) Beautiful in the center of Leeuwarden, super nice. (Original) Mooi in de binnenstad van Leeuwarden, super leuk.

(Translated by Google) Interesting, varied exhibitions in a historic building .. (Original) Interessante, afwisselende exposities in een historisch gebouw..

(Translated by Google) I was soon fed up with all those dishes, bowls and plates. Had expected a little more from Escher. But for the people who love ceramics it's great! (Original) Ik was het gauw zat met al die schaaltjes, kommetjes en borden. Had iets meer van Escher verwacht. Maar voor de mensen die van keramiek houden helemaal top!

(Translated by Google) Personally not quite my style, but that does not mean that the museum is fun to visit if you have time to spare. (Original) Persoonlijk niet helemaal mijn stijl, maar dat neemt niet weg dat het museum leuk is om te bezoeken als je een keer tijd over hebt.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum. Nice exhibition about lost ships. (Original) Interessant museum. Mooie tentoonstelling over vergane schepen.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum. Beautiful exhibition about drowned treasures (Original) Prachtig museum. Mooie tentoonstelling over verdronken schatten

(Translated by Google) Ok museum. A lot of old and little contemporary ceramics. Escher small exhibition. Nice to have been once. (Original) Ok museum. Veel oude en weinig hedendaags keramiek. Escher kleine tentoonstelling. Leuk om een keer geweest te zijn.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, beautiful MC Escher space! (Original) Mooi , prachtige MC Escher ruimte !

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly nice (Original) Verrassend leuk

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with beautiful historical objects. (Original) Mooi museum met prachtige historische objecten.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibition of Hidden Treasures. (Original) Mooie tentoonstelling van Verborgen schatten.

(Translated by Google) What a building say! Super! (Original) Wat een gebouw zeg! Super!

(Translated by Google) Large collection with a lot of explanation about the history. (Original) Grote collectie met veel uitleg over de historie.

(Translated by Google) My partner and I went there for the first time. Me in front of the building, was beautiful to see, and the history of the Princessehuis. The latter was somewhat disappointing because only 1 room, the Maurits room, was furnished in "original condition", but with ceramic crockery that the princess loved. The room was very beautiful to see. As if I imagined myself at that time. I found the collection 'East to West' and made in Holland the most beautiful and the most interesting. A beautiful and long history. With very beautiful pieces. We had no time for the tea house, but it looked clean. I think it is important. There are enough parking spaces around the museum and the bus stops less than 500m away. (Original) Mijn partner en ik zijn er voor het eerst heen geweest. Ik voor het gebouw, was prachtig om te zien, en de geschiedenis van het Princessehuis. Het laatste viel wat tegen daar er maar 1 kamer, de Mauritskamer, in "originele staat" was ingericht, wel met keramiekservies waar de prinses dol op was. De kamer was erg mooi om te zien. Alsof ik me in die tijd waande. De collectie 'Oost naar West' en made in Holland vond ik het mooist en het meest interessant. Een prachtig en lange geschiedenis. Met hele mooie stukken. Voor het theehuis hadden we geen tijd meer, maar het zag er wel schoon uit. Vind ik belangrijk. Er zijn rondom het museum genoeg parkeerplaatsen en nog geen 500m er vandaan stopt de bus.

As a little boy, I went every Sunday to the 'kleikelder', where I learned to throw pottery. I don't know if it still exists, almost 40 years later. Not long ago, I picked up this hobby again and hope to build a small business. I am very grateful to Princessenhof!

Great museum, beautifully done!

It was really amazing!!! I am fan of ceramic work! For me this exhibition was incredible!!! Only, it was to warm inside and I had a shortness of breath!!!

Very lovely museum with lots of beautiful pieces to admire. Very interesting and bigger museum than expected.

Das Keramikmuseum "Princessehof" in der Nähe ist definitiv einen Besuch wert. Es befindet sich in einem historischen Gebäude und beherbergt die weltweit größte Sammlung an Kacheln. Die Ausstellungen sind vielfältig und reichen von festlich gedeckten Tafeln bis hin zu einer Dauerausstellung mit Porzellan aus verschiedenen Ländern und Epochen. Besonders beeindruckend fand ich die Wechselausstellung "Handle mit Care", die sich mit der Verbindung von Keramik und den Händen beschäftigt. Das Museum bietet auch interaktive Elemente, die zum Mitmachen einladen. Der "Teesalon" im Haus lädt zum Verweilen ein. Beachtenswert ist auch, dass der Eintrittspreis für Lehrer ermäßigt ist. Insgesamt eine interessante und lohnenswerte Erfahrung.

Ein tolles Museum! Die Vielfalt der Ausstellungsstücke sind sehr interessant. Die Keramiken sind einmalig. Wie immer werden die Historischen Ereignisse verständlich und spannend dargestellt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!! Zu empfehlen ist auch der Teesalon.

Viel zu sehen hier, man taucht tief in die Geschichte der Keramik ein und auch die Sonderausstellungen sind wirklich toll vorbereitet und tiefgründig. Marie-Luise hat tiefgreifenden Eindruck hinterlassen, obwohl es nur wenige Räume sind. Das Personal war freundlich und hat auch das Combiticket angeboten, was auf der Homepage gefehlt hat. Gönnt euch gerne den Besuch.

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly nice museum !! (Original) Verrassend leuk museum !!

I thought.. How interesting can a museum about ceramic be, but I think they did a quite good job. But I would not recommend it for kids, it is too much read and learn and do not touch

I just took the €1 tour to see the Escher stuff, and I was not disappointed. Very friendly staff. I imagine the rest of the museum is very good.

Much more than I expected, well worth a visit

Wonderful museum. A gem in a beautiful setting.

A lovely museum with a very fine and diverse collection of ceramics from a broad period of history. There is also a very nice cafe and gift shop.

Terrific museum with an extensive collection of ceramics from all over with an emphasis of the Dutch contributions which ranged from imitating Chinese pieces to trend-setting work. The many informative display panels help understanding the techniques.

Enjoyed variety of exhibitions from ancient to contemporary ceramics. Very well presented using visual arts, motion, water, and etc., which kept me inspiring. Also enjoyed shopping at the museum shop on the corner.

Impressive collection, worth a visit if you're into ceramics!

Really wide variety. To much to take in one day.

(Translated by Google) Nice, beautifully decorated museum. Ceramics may not sound very cool, but the museum displays many different, varied and surprising objects. You can go many ways with ceramics. Well worth it. (Original) Leuk, mooi ingericht museum. Keramiek klinkt misschien niet erg cool, maar het museum toont veel verschillende, afwisselende en verrassende objecten. Met keramiek kun je vele kanten op. Zeer de moeite waard.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, special exhibitions and permanent collection! (Original) Mooi museum,bijzondere tentoonstellingen en vaste collectie!

(Translated by Google) Nice to see the ceramic stuff (Original) Leuk om de keramieke spullen te zien

(Translated by Google) Nice museum (Original) Leuk museum

(Translated by Google) beautiful, and well worth it if you come to Leeuwarden (Original) prachtig, en zeker de moeite waard als je leeuwarden komt

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly, we went for Esscher, but the other exhibits and the building itself were really nice too. (Original) Verrassend, we gingen voor Esscher, maar de overige exposities en het gebouw zelf waren ook erg leuk.

Everything you ever wanted and didn't know you wanted to know about ceramics, Dutch history and ships

I had such a wonderful time here. I'd like to recommend this museum to everyone who is interested in ceramic art. But the museum shop is tiny disappointment.

(Translated by Google) A bit of searching for the right Corona walking route. Escher part was very brief, but ceramics were beautiful: old / new, classic / modern. Museum was well worth it. (Original) Beetje zoeken naar de juiste Corona-looproute. Escher gedeelte was heel summier, maar keramiek was prachtig: oud/nieuw, klassiek/modern. Museum was zeker de moeite waard.

(Translated by Google) Awesome. Clear timelines, explanation of techniques. And an example of the "art of omission": not every cup and plate that could be found is crammed in between! (Original) Geweldig. Heldere tijdlijnen, uitleg technieken. En een voorbeeld van de "kunst van het weglaten": niet ieder kopje en bordje wat men kon vinden is ertussen gepropt!

(Translated by Google) Nice, nice to see (Original) Mooi, leuk om te zien

Small Museum with interesting Printpresses.

(Translated by Google) Nice collection and well arranged with corona guidelines. (Original) Mooie collectie en goed geregeld met corona richtlijnen.

(Translated by Google) Some areas not open. Covid 19 preventive measures properly implemented. Shop prices out of proportion to the common tourist. More attention for art than for making ceramic products. (Original) Enkele ruimtes niet open. Covid 19 preventieve maatregelen goed uitgevoerd. Winkel prijzen buiten proportioneel voor de gewone toerist. Meer aandacht voor kunst dan voor het maken van keramische producten.

(Translated by Google) Part of esher here too. Furthermore, baroque city palace rooms. And you have to like pottery pots and pans. (Original) Deel van esher ook hier. Verder barok stadpaleis kamers. En je moet wel van potten en pannen aardewerk houden.

(Translated by Google) very diverse, beautiful exhibition and history extensively displayed (Original) erg divers, mooie tentoonstelling en geschiedenis uitgebreid weergegeven

(Translated by Google) Very surprising, old and new ceramics. Various applications, from utensils to contemporary three-dimensional art. You must see the Escherkelder! (Original) Heel verrassend, oude en nieuwe keramiek. Diverse toepassingen, van gebruiksvoorwerpen tot hedendaagse driedimensionale kunst. De Escherkelder móet je zien!

(Translated by Google) Not quite to my expectation. The corona walkways were very confusing and the modern ceramic exhibits were not my taste. I also occasionally missed seats. (Original) Niet helemaal naar mijn verwachting. De corona looproutes waren heel verwarrend en de moderne keramiek tentoonstellingen waren niet mijn smaak. Ook mistte ik af en toe zitjes.

(Translated by Google) Great museum if you like ceramics (Original) Geweldig museum als je van keramiek houdt

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibitions and the opportunity to drink a cup of coffee, among others (Original) Prachtige exposities en gelegenheid tot 't drinken van een kop koffie o.i.a.

(Translated by Google) Nice building, neat entrance. The exhibition is messy and not logical in design. Unclear routing due to corona measures. Not all objects are interesting. I expected more from Escher. (Original) Mooi gebouw, nette entree. De tentoonstelling is rommelig en niet logisch van opzet. Onduidelijk routering ivm coronamaatregelen. Niet alle objecten zijn interessant. Ik had meer van Escher verwacht.

It's a beautifully designed museum with entertaining and interesting information about everything ceramics. You're certain to gain a new appreciation for the average breakfast mug and the thousands of years of development behind it. It's definitely worth a visit, even if you initially might think it a boring subject.
