CLAY MUSEUM OF CERAMIC ART DENMARK (formerly Grimmerhus Ceramic Museum)
is a museum of ceramic art, crafts, and design.
The museum boasts one of the finest collections of ceramics in Europe.

In 2010, the museum was donated a unique collection of more than 55,000 ceramic works – porcelain, earthenware, and faience – from Royal Copenhagen,
Bing & Grøndahl, and Alumnia. This special collection, which showcases more than

235 years of ceramic design development from the three renowned ceramic manufacturers Royal Copenhagen Porcelain, Bing & Grøndahl, and Alumnia, has never been presented to a public before.

Interest in ceramics has grown significantly among young and old around the world in recent years. From China to the USA, the "three blue waves" are the epitome of Danish arts and crafts and design.

The museum's doors opened in the summer of 2015 following an extensive renovation and expansion. Among other things, the Royal Porcelain Collection – a major attraction – will be presented here for Danish and foreign visitors.

The museum will once again be a hub for international, changing exhibitions
and thematic events, featuring works by contemporary, internationally acclaimed Danish and foreign ceramic artists. There will also be the opportunity to spend some time in the museum café and visit the museum shop with its tasteful selection of ceramic arts and crafts and design.

Furthermore, the architecture, with its accompanying sculpture park
and the magnificent view of the Little Belt, is a gem. The major expansion
of the museum was carried out primarily underground, with respect for the original Grimmerhus building –
a unique architectural gem dating back to 1857 and still fully
protected today.

It is no coincidence that Grimmerhus Ceramic Museum is now called the CLAY MUSEUM OF CERAMICS ART DENMARK. This has historical reasons.

``` In the 1980s, a group of art enthusiasts were members of the international artists' group Clay Today. They needed a suitable location for a ceramics museum.
And they chose Grimmerhus (a widow's retirement home dating back to 1857).

Recognizing the museum's history and its professional identity, the museum was renamed the CLAY MUSEUM OF CERAMICS ART DENMARK.
