Porcelanium Visitor Center, Herend

The Herend Porcelain Manufactory is just ten minutes away from Veszprém.

As you drive towards Herend, you can see the impressive group of buildings from afar, which have housed the Porcelanium Visitor Centre since 1999. Here you can see the Herend Porcelain Manufactory’s mission in action: besides demonstrating how quality porcelain is made, it is the ideal place to popularise this special profession and the techniques associated with it, as well as passing on the traditions of the applied arts.

At the Mini-Manufactory, visitors can take a peek at the secrets of how porcelain is made. If you would like to become a master at the craft of porcelain making – even if only for short time – you can “seize the clay” (or a paint brush). There is room for your creativity here. You can also visit the Viktória porcelain brand store in the section of the building opposite the Porcelanium.

You can learn about the history of the manufactory at the Porcelain Museum from the permanent collection, or from the temporary exhibitions which change with the seasons. After a trip into the world of porcelain, visitors can enjoy the hospitality of the Apicius Restaurant and Café.
