Origin and history

The Museum of Mediterranean pottery is located in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie, a commune known for its history related to ceramics. This place bears witness to the importance of pottery in this region, where crafts have shaped local identity for generations. Although the exact period of creation of the museum is not specified, its existence is part of an ancient tradition of Mediterranean ceramic know-how.

In Occitania, artisanal activities such as pottery have long played a central role in the economy and culture of villages. The potter workshops, often family-run, produced utilitarian and decorative objects, essential to everyday life. This type of museum preserves and transmits these techniques, while enhancing the region's tangible and intangible heritage.
