Information
A place steeped in history and creativity, Keramis showcases ceramics in all their forms. Combining contemporary art, research and the heritage of the Boch earthenware factory, there is something to spark everyone's curiosity.
Keramis is located on the site of the former Boch earthenware factory in La Louvière. Its contemporary and bold architecture encompasses a listed historic building containing three huge bottle kilns, the last of their kind in Belgium.
In the heart of the Reserve open to visitors, discover the products from the decoration workshops of Charles Catteau and Ernest D'Hossche, learn the secrets of the services that made the factory famous and immerse yourself in the stories of those who brought this industry to life.
Keramis houses part of the contemporary ceramics collection of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, as well as remarkable works listed as Treasures by the institution, due to their historic and artistic quality.
Through its collections and temporary exhibitions, Keramis invites you to discover contemporary ceramics and its innovations since the second half of the 20th century.
The museum offers specific tools to encourage autonomy, such as a guided tour designed for people with visual impairments (by reservation), and a digital guide compatible with screen readers, available at the reception desk.
