About

This visit takes you through a key chapter in Norway’s industrial and design history. At the Porcelain Museum, you'll explore exhibitions detailing the evolution of Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik from its founding in 1887 to today.

Learn how raw materials are shaped, fired, and decorated to become timeless tableware. The iconic pattern – a blue-and-white motif hand-painted since the factory’s beginning – remains in production and is one of the highlights of the visit.

You'll also discover how designers like Nora Gulbrandsen and Tias Eckhoff shaped the factory's artistic profile. For both adults and children, workshops are available where you can try painting your own porcelain piece – a hands-on way to engage with the craft.
