The Zibo Museum of Ceramics documents 8,000 years of pottery production in the region — a span that runs from Neolithic painted pottery through the development of stoneware and porcelain traditions that made Zibo's kilns important suppliers to the imperial court and commercial markets from the Han Dynasty onwards.
The collection is organized chronologically and technically: each major kiln type (Jun, Cizhou, and the local Zibo traditions) is represented with examples that illustrate the development of glaze chemistry, kiln technology, and decorative style. The Boshan colored glaze section is the most visually striking. The museum is in the Zhangdian district near the city center.
