Museum of American Porcelain Art — Attraction in South Euclid

This is one of the best museums I've ever been to. We met Carey and Richard Barone, and both were super kind and knowledgeable. Richard gave us a wonderful tour, super detailed, informative, and fun. He has so many wonderful stories to share about his life, acquiring pieces for the collection, and about the collection itself. I learned so much about porcelain from them both.

The museum itself is gorgeous, inside and outside. The architecture is amazing, and the pieces inside are breathtaking. There is so much inside to see, it'll definitely take me at least one more trip to see it all!

They also had a nice gift shop with a variety of goods, including, of course, porcelain. There were many goods from local artists as well, which was great to see. The prices were more than reasonable, too.

I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone who lives in Cleveland or...

Without knowing much about the museum or porcelain I did not know if I would enjoy the museum... But let me tell you it is so worth it!

The museum begins with a video about the long and delicate process of making naturalistic porcelain statues and from there you can explore the first floor that is full with gorgeous and intricate figurines, from the Boehm section of realistic animals, to a section of flowers and figurines of fairy tale characters. There are plenty of figures with something for anyone interested in the arts.

While the inside if the museum is full of porcelain art, is the building itself a beautiful English Tudor and French Normandy Stile mansion that is itself worth the visit if you're in the area.

Our Tour guide was friendly and very helpful about the art and the mansion. 10/10...

So glad we visited! Their staff is the nicest and so welcoming and knowledgeable about this beautiful art form. Very well curated. And as someone who grew up going to the mansion the museum is in when it was a library, it was so wonderful to see how the space has both stayed the same and been developed. If you’re in Cleveland and want to make a quick museum visit of about 30-60 minutes...
