Museo Nacional de Cerámica
This late Gothic palace was remade in the 18th century with a rococo exterior dominated by Ignacio Vergara’s figures of “Dos Aguas” (Two Waters), now the palace’s namesake. The building was already a landmark long before 1947, when the private ceramic collections of Manuel González Martí and his wife Amelia Cuñat were installed here to create the Museo Nacional de Cerámica. With its long history of fine ceramic art, Valencia was a fitting location. The museum is of most interest to collectors, who will find the nuances of regional styles fascinating.
