One of the Best Places To Visits in Meissen Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. We paid a ticket of 16 euros pp. First you do a through the workshops, where you can see workers making pieces. A bit rushed from stage to stage. You get an audio guide in several languages. Then there is a in floors 1 and 2 with beautiful exhibitions and some explanations in English. They have an audio guide, in German only. Could be an interesting tour, though, but very focused on Germans only. it's a very cool attraction. tickets are €14 for adults, and if you've got a reduction, it's €12. first things first, you'll need to stash your backpack in a locker at the cloakroom, they've got free toiletsntoo, which is always a bonus. there's also a big shop on site. the best part is definitely the guided tour, which happens at specific times. you walk through different rooms, and the workers are right there, showing you the entire process of making meissen step-by-step. it's fascinating to see how it all comes together. you can also grab an audioguide in another language. after the demo, you're free to wander around the individually. they've got tons of amazing pieces on display, from historical items to more modern designs. definitely worth a visit if you're into that sort of thing or just curious about how such beautiful objects are made A wonderful museum. The is on the second floor of the building the main floor is the shop. The workmanship of the figurines is truly amazing. I had a great time there. We came there 2 hours earlier than our booking time. The sweet reception lady helped me to figure out, she is the person making my day. Was a lovely visit. Amazing to wonder around with over 3000 pieces of Meissen china to look at. We did the and intresing insight on how they make and paint the different items. While items are expensive there is something for every one. Had we had more time would have loved to paint my own meissen item. Fabulous, gorgeous, amazing!!! The demonstrations were timed just right and very informative. The displays were beautiful. I visited Meissen as part of a Viking tour. Having little interest in porcelain, I was fully prepared to loathe the experience. I was also frightened because I'm rather clumsy, and is expensive. To my utter astonishment, though, the making process was fascinating (and I managed to emerge without a hefty bill). Meissen has done an outstanding job of making this accessible: our was a three-room series. When you enter one room, a live human demonstrates while a recording narrates. For our group, it was in English. You start with the formation of an item, whether it's a cup or the head for a figurine. In the subsequent rooms, you learn about glazing and painting. To work at Meissen, one undertakes four years of schooling. It's a bit like college. Because there is less interest in these days, this enterprise is state-funded so the art doesn't die. For those who have the means and desire to buy a $40,000 soup tureen, that's available. But there's also a outlet in the building. All in all, you don't have to have an interest in to enjoy the process-tour. Anyone interested in arts and even science can find value here. Very Interesting. I enjoyed the demonstration workshop. There were little audio devices offered in multiple languages. After the workshop you can browse three stories of a lot of pieces from different artists. There is a cute little cafe with pastries, coffee, and some alcoholic drinks. For parking, I went with contipark above a shopping center just a 5 minute walk away.
