Yingge Ceramics Museum is the first professional ceramics museum in the country. It went through three county magistrates and took 12 years to be established, finally opening on November 26, 2000. The architectural style of the ceramics museum features exposed concrete, steel framework, and transparent glass that penetrate the interior and exterior environment, creating an infinite extension and changing between reality and illusion, presenting a simple and elegant beauty, highlighting the importance of the museum's exhibits. The museum constructs the main body and exhibition content of Taiwan's ceramic culture by means of the 200-year history of kiln technology and folk culture in Taiwan. At the same time, it is oriented towards educational services, combining information technology to create various scenarios; making the ceramics museum a museum that is intellectual, emotional, approachable, and enjoyable to visit.
The Traditional Craft Hall explains the ceramic making process and presents the auxiliary tools used in early ceramic production. The second floor explains the development process and features of ceramics in various parts of Taiwan, as well as introducing Taiwan's ceramic products, specifically presenting the characteristics, types, and uses of the exhibits, fully illustrating the relationship between products and daily life. The Children's Ceramic World is a "soil" experience area specially designed for children aged four to eight. This area provides young children with a free space to explore the world of soil without any restrictions. Another area is a ceramic art study room, providing a venue for domestic and international ceramic artists to exchange creative experiences. The Future World Hall discusses the application of ceramics in the future world, using daily familiar items such as dentures, computers, telephones, mobile phones, motorcycle cylinders, etc., to illustrate how "ceramics" have evolved from complete practical objects in traditional times to components or materials of today's technological products or daily items.
