Valencia - National Museum of Ceramics and Sumptuary Arts Museo Nacional de Cerámica y Artes Suntuarias

A little way east of San Martín is the handsome 18th century Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas, with a richly decorated alabaster doorway by Ignacio Vergara, which now houses the National Ceramic Museum, Spain's leading collection of ceramics. Founded in 1947, with the González Martí collection as its nucleus, the Museum has over 5,000 examples of traditional pottery from Valencia and the surrounding area (Alcora, Paterna, Manises), azulejos from Teruel, faience from Toledo and Seville, Greek, Roman and Arab ware, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, and modern pieces by Mariano Benlliure and Picasso. The pride of the collection is a fully equipped early 19th century Valencian kitchen completely faced with tiles.
