Nowadays, there are museums, collections consist of only ceramics, except for museums where traditional or contemporary works are exhibited, with archaeological finds from all areas including ceramics. Although these collections are based on local, regional or world traditional ceramics, they give place to contemporary ceramics especially.

In the museums where the world ceramics history is reflected, it is seen that thousands of years of archeological finds of Anatolian origin, as well as traditional Iznik, Kütahya and Çanakkale ceramics were exhibited.
