Best place to see 3-color glazed pottery

#freemuseumdays The Luoyang Sancai Art Museum, located within the historic Lijing Gate Wengcheng in Luoyang's Old Town District, is a specialized institution dedicated to the vibrant art of Luoyang Sancai—a colorful glazed pottery tradition that flourished during the Tang Dynasty. Founded by renowned ceramic artist Guo Ai He, the museum showcases an extensive collection of nearly 1,000 pieces, including award-winning works and items designated as national gifts. The exhibits span various historical periods, illustrating the evolution of Sancai art from its origins to contemporary interpretations. I actually thought I have got fed up with three color glazed pottery after visiting so many mega museums in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Henan, but this place has again blown my mind away. It doesn’t only showcase traditional pottery making process in the most visual appealing and illustrative ways, but also incorporates that in modern themes, which bridges traditional and contemporary art works. Admission is free, and visitors can explore the museum daily from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM. The museum's modern exhibition spaces provide an immersive experience into the rich heritage of Luoyang's ceramic artistry.
