Alfred Ceramic Art Museum

The Alfred Ceramic Art Museum at Alfred University houses nearly 8,000 ceramic objects ranging from small pottery shards recovered from ancient civilizations to modern and contemporary ceramic art. The primary mission of Alfred Ceramic Art Museum is to collect, preserve, conserve, research, interpret and exhibit ceramic art for aesthetic and educational purposes. The museum is a research and teaching facility, which offers an engagement in cultural history via ceramic art to the student, artist, scholar and collector as well as the local, national and international community.


The Museum is now open with our new exhibition, Bill and Jack and Other Friends. This new exhibition features the recent acquisition of sculptures by Jack Earl along with companion works from the permanent collection.
