If you want to experience and understand the history of pottery from the area, there is definitely enough English provided to give you plenty of background information and to allow you to delve into the finer details of all this regarding Kyushu Ceramics.
Lots of exhibits
Without a doubt any pottery enthusiast would need at least 2 hours here at the Kyushu Ceramic Museum in order to fully check out all the attractions and information provided within the showcases. I really had to check my time in order to stay within my scheduled time, which was 1 hour. I will probably have to return again someday to really get the most out of my visit as it felt like i left too many things on the table
Information about ceramics
Huge selection
The range of products and displays at the Kyushu Ceramic Museum are as diverse and wide ranging as you would expect from a highly rated institution. They get visitors from all over Japan and many more from abroad and this reflects in their efforts to provide as much English signposting and subtitling.
Once you have finished inside there is a lovely garden outside that deserves a stroll and a wander around. Very peaceful and with many cherry trees, so if your visit coincides with Spring then you will be able to see the cherry blossoms as well.
Well worth a visit!
