  • While the curant exhibition is interesting and worth your time, I recommend avoiding weekends as the rooms are small, there are too many objects to see and the summary explanations are put in small...

  • If you love porcelain, rock crystal and small decorative objects like me, then you will love The Bauer. Tucked away in a rarified neighborhood, this former townhouse cum museum is a very quiet space....  more

  • This museum was an absolute gem! The collection is really impressive, and is displayed in an exquisite way! I truly enjoyed learning so much about the different ceramics styles. Some pieces are extremely rare... what a pleasure to see them all reunited in this place! Highly recommended if you are interested in it!
  • Very interesting and extraordinary collection of chinese and japanese porcelaine, the earliest productions, beautiful historic masterpieces, special exhibition about colours in porcelaine. They also offer a Japanese tea time.
  • Quiet on a Saturday afternoon: A good atmosphere to gaze at a wonderful collection of Asian ceramics. There are also some beautiful jade pieces, gorgeous lacquerware, a small but impressive collection of Japanese tsubas, and so on. The temporary exhibit (October 2022) on emaille and color in ceramics in stunning.
  • Best Eastern Asian porcelain pieces I have seen my entire life. Far better than the ones in China and Japan! I don't know exactly how Mr. Bauer came to acquire these beautiful works but he surely saved the Chinese ones from destruction by the Communists. Highly recommend!
