Eintrittskarte für die Porzellanmanufaktur Meissen

Live demonstrators showed Meissen manufacturing techniques, synchronized with multi-language hand-phones narration. No views of actual manufacturing area. Timed tickets, I had to wait a half-hour for my walk-in purchase time to come up. (Mid-March, 2026.) Well done, but not a must-see. Huge museum of porcelain, but few historic objects, mostly vulgar modern pieces available for purchase. Go to the SDK Porcelain collection at the Zwinger first.

The manufactory has outsouced the customer parking lot. My mother is stuck in a wheelchair. Therefore, we placed ourselves in the disabled parking lot, paid the parking fees and laid out the blue disabled parking permit. Nevertheless, we received a payment request for 35 euros in fines. I objected and attached photos of the car, the parking lot and my mother in a wheelchair. Nevertheless, the payment of the penalty is insisted upon. The parking permit had expired shortly before. Therefore, it is justified that we should not have stood in the parking lot and it is even claimed that we were towed elsewhere. Today also only the mail came in.. Until then, the argument went on. It is correct that there is a form error. Nevertheless, I proved with photos that my mother is severely disabled. So customer service is different.... We have some Meissen porcelain in our closet, but now I always have to think about how disabled people are treated when I look at our porcelain. Well, I think KPM is nice too...

The collection itself is spectacular! The porcelain is wonderful. Meanwhile, I arrived thirsty, the café was closed and no one can offer me a glass of water! Unbelievable!!!! And little information in English.

An absolutely amazing trip. Fortunately the site was pretty empty despite it being Christmas market season. We really enjoyed the demonstrations which helped to put the museum exhibitions into context. We used the handsets for translation and the whole tour was so well organised. We enjoyed coffee and cake in the cafe and marvelled at the collections of Meissen pieces both modern and old. This was definitely a trip worth taking. We bought the tickets in advance but this was not strictly necessary as the site was not very busy. We were also able to walk into the town very easily from the factory and use the excellent public transport links back to Dresden

Tour very interesting but difficult to sync audio translation to the prerecorded information. Audio Was constantly early or late related to demonstration. The artists would add additional comments, or answer questions with no translation. Was very interesting and the great deal of detailed handwork required was enlightening.

Interesting and good to see the specialists artistry if you’re interested in this artwork. Quaint place as well.

Beautiful tour. Amazing pieces . Highly recommend and pleasantly surprised. English headsets. Get there early.

A great insight into "white gold", the making of porcelain. I joined the tour to see the artisans working on creating the vessels, refining figurines and hand-painting plates. It was great to see their skills. I paid extra for the headset to listen to the information in English. My headset had a few issues and was eventually replaced. I don't think it's essential to listen to the headset as you can understand what's happening by watching the artisans. You can take photos of them too! The building has lots of porcelain to view, including the traditional styles and new works by international artists. There's a shop to buy products (and yes, they're incredibly expensive but after watching the work that goes into making each piece, it's understandable). There's also an outlet store, but it too is pretty pricey. You can easily spend a couple of hours wandering around. There's also a cafe and really clean (and free!) toilets. The museum is a nice walk from the old town. The staff are nice too.

Very unique experience. We loved the demonstration of every step. We had the English audio guide and it worked very well.

Very worthwhile excursion from Dresden.enjoyed the quiet ambiance of the museum. The workshops showing various parts of the processing was interesting. We enjoyed lunch at the cafe/restaurant
