China Ceramic Museum, formerly Jingdezhen Ceramic Museum, was founded in January 1954, is the first ceramic museum in China. The museum has collected more than 30,000 pieces of Neolithic pottery and ceramic treasures from various historical periods since the Han and Tang Dynasties (of which more than 500 precious national cultural relics), including the representative varieties in the long river of Jingdezhen's millennium porcelain history. The lowercase of China's English name is porcelain, and the English pronunciation of China is derived from the historical name of the town, "Changnan".
