Museum Background
 You can see in museum Keramiekcentrum Tiendschuur Tegelen historic and modern ceramic objects.
The historic collection shows an interesting view of the clay-industry throughout the centuries.
Starting with the Romans, who produced their first Tegula (flat roof tile), till the last fine-ceramic object from the workshop of the Russel-Tiglia factory (1940 till 1960).

You can see the development of the coarse-ceramic industry and the famous export product from Tegelen: black pottery (black glazed, handmade crockery, about 1830). The typical three-colour technique from Tegelen, (white, yellow and dark brown clay laid on red clay), by application, paintbrush or slip painting.

Our present-day collection is growing and contains work from Joop Crompvoets, Niek Hoogland, Horst Göbbels, Matthieu van der Giessen, Richard Godfrey, Siegfried Gorinskat† (1938-2006), Netty Janssen and Hein Severijns.
