It houses the finest collection of Silesian porcelain, including the famous 'White Gold' service from the Tielsch factory. Its historic building (1801) was once the residence of textile magnates and reflects the ceramic tradition that brought international fame to Walbrzych.
Choose Wednesday to Friday mornings in the shoulder season (April-June or September-October). Avoid weekends in July/August, when it overlaps with visitors to Książ Castle. Winter is less crowded but has shorter opening hours.
There are ramps on the ground floor and an elevator to the first floor, but the historic basement areas are not accessible. Adapted restrooms are available. Check in advance by phone at +48 74 664 60 30 or by email at [email protected].
