Keramis, Centre de la Céramique

The Keramis Centre is a museum that acquires, preserves and showcases the tangible and intangible records of any activity relating to ceramics, with a particular focus on the work done on the site of the Boch pottery works. It looks after and adds to the ceramics collections of Wallonia, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and the Province of Hainaut, for which it is the custodian. The Keramis Centre is a venue for art and creativity, specialising in ceramics. It oversees the preservation and transmission of ceramic know-how, and supports artists who use this medium today by exhibiting and purchasing their work. The centre promotes the three former glass furnaces at the Boch pottery works, a fantastic example of industrial archaeology, showcasing their value in terms of both culture and tourism.
