Official information states that the museum is free but requires a reservation, normally opens 09:00–16:30 and closes on Mondays.
Three facts to know
The municipal government page updated August 4, 2026 says admission is free but a reservation is required. Normal hours are 09:00–16:30, Mondays are closed, and the address is No. 1 Zijing Avenue. Booking is available through the WeChat mini-programs “畅游景德镇” and “景博预约”.
Holiday and summer arrangements can change. Check the official booking screen for your exact date rather than relying on an old travel post.
Preparation for international visitors
Prepare the exact passport name, passport number and a reachable phone number. If the mini-program does not accept your document type, ask your hotel, licensed guide or travel coordinator to verify the official process. Do not send passport images to unknown individuals.
Bring the original document used for booking and allow time for security. The official introduction notes more than 50,000 objects, so two to three hours is sensible for a meaningful visit.
How to place it in an itinerary
A useful sequence is China Ceramics Museum in the morning, Imperial Kiln and Taoyangli in the afternoon, then Taoxichuan in the evening. A deep visit to all three in one day can feel rushed.
Families, senior travelers and visitors with luggage can use a private car. A multilingual guide helps explain forms, glazes, firing techniques and historical context.
