The museum porcelain workshop is the newest museum opened in 2011 in the ancient Desyatinny monastery near the Novgorod Kremlin. Its principles include the ancient craft adjoined by advanced interactive technologies, education and entertainment.
You can visit the museum workshop with your family or send children on a school trip there. Visitors return home with the new knowledge of the history of porcelain and with the souvenirs made by their own hands. The basis of the museum is the famous porcelain factory of the Kuznetsov family “The Partnership for Production of Porcelain and Faience Products”. The family already owned nineteen plants in 1898 when the merchant Ivan Emelyanovich Kuznetsov rebuilt the porcelain factory on the Volkhov River.
