The museum fills a palace known for its carved alabaster doorway of the 18th century, one of the most photographed in the city. Inside, the rooms are laid out like a noble house, with a tiled Valencian kitchen. Other rooms show the ceramics made in the Valencian towns of Manises and Paterna, with tiles, plates and porcelain from other parts of Spain and Asia. It suits a rainy hour and takes about an hour.
