“Excellent museum presenting a collection of pottery through several millenia plus amazing contemporary ceramic exhibit in the large underground cave. The store is huge with unrivaled collection of the high end ceramic items. Real gem!” – Oleg Volfson
“This is truly a hidden gem. I came to visit the museum shop only, not the museum to see if I can bag some local craft home. I didn’t, but that doesn’t make the visit to the museum a regrettable one. The underground museum shop with lots of terracotta and ceramic pieces are truly a feast to the eyes. Even if you didn’t settle for anything, the museum shop itself is a piece of art. Highly recommend coming to this place. If you managed to get something, it’s a bonus and pat yourself in the back that you didn’t get ripped off some art galleries because all pieces here are endorsed by the museum and they house local artisan works. Very authentic experience. Massive collection. Very knowledgeable staff Aziz too.” – Wenxin Li
“Thank goodness there are dreamers. The world’s first underground museum, carved into a massive rock. Inside are magnificent artifacts, and simply viewing the structure is truly unique. Definitely worth a visit.” – Ozlem B.
