Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum presents Our History Through Ceramics, a collection exhibition that offers an overview of the development of ceramic culture on the Korean Peninsula. Through major works from the museum’s collection, the exhibition highlights the history, traditions, techniques, and significance of Korean ceramics from the Goryeo period to the present day.

Gallery 1 presents the development of porcelain culture on the Korean Peninsula at a glance. It introduces Goryeo celadon, as well as the transformation and characteristics of Joseon-period buncheong ware and white porcelain. The exhibition also helps visitors understand the transition from inlaid celadon to buncheong ware, the coexistence of buncheong ware and white porcelain, and the types and aesthetic characteristics of white porcelain.

Gallery 2 is organized under the themes of “White Porcelain in Daily Life,” “Ceramics of Gyeonggi-do,” and “Modern and Contemporary Traditional Ceramics.” “White Porcelain in Daily Life” explores the uses of ceramics for various purposes, including everyday life and rituals, offering insight into and empathy with the sentiments and refined way of life of our ancestors. “Modern and Contemporary Traditional Ceramics” introduces the traditions of Korean ceramics that were preserved amid difficult circumstances following the privatization of Bunwon. Through this, the exhibition invites visitors to experience the “beauty of nature as it is,” passed down from our ancestors.
