Museum of Trade Ceramics

The Museum of Trading Ceramics, at 80 Tran Phu Street, is a fine old house converted into a museum of Hoi An's ceramic exports from the 15th to 17th centuries. The site is much more interesting than the displays, as the relics on exhibit are relatively scarce. Particularly noteworthy is the upper level, which is off-limits in all of the other Hoi An homes opened to the public. Although earlier buildings existed on the site, the present structure dates from 1858.

Lovely little museum. At the end, there's a workshop managed by differently abled people, sharing their art creations and selling their quilt art work and govt approved Arabica and Robusta Coffee. Must visit if you are in Hoi An.

The museum is small but very important for the Hoi An history. The ticket-buying option is not at the reception which can be a trick if you do not buy in advance. The ticket office is 2 Min away in a temple. Be aware to ask to not validate them of you are not planning to visit the temple.

This a very interesting 17th century house with original wood from the time which has been turned into a museum of ceramics and its presence in Vietnam. The place is small and you can see it in just some minutes.

Tickets for all old houses and museums can be bought at the corner house near the Japanese bridge. Very interesting history of ceramics in Hoi an. Plus in the back they produce really nice art pieces out of paper. Beautiful work and very nice people. Definitely worth a visit.

I used one of my Hoi An Old Town tickets to visit this museum. It was very quiet and cool and had some interesting displays. The view of the street from the second floor was nice.

Behind the ceramic museum, there’s a hidden gem—a small production studio creating beautiful handmade paper goods. They make everything from cards and calendars to delicate cut jewelry, all crafted with incredible attention to detail. What makes this place even more special is their mission: they collaborate with disabled artisans, supporting a meaningful cause while producing stunning work. You probably wouldn’t stumble upon this spot without visiting the ceramic museum across from it, but it’s absolutely worth paying the entrance fee to discover this inspiring project. The people here are so kind, and their dedication to their craft is truly heartwarming. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates handmade art and wants to support a wonderful community!

Great musuem, inside there is an Happy Smile Quilling workshop with interesting hand made products, thanks for the great experience
