Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred University in Alfred, New York, United States houses nearly 8,000 ceramic and glass objects. Its collection includes ancient ceramics of anthropological interest, examples of historical and contemporary ceramic art and craft, and advanced ceramics created utilizing advanced ceramic engineering technology. While the museum has a public gallery on the second floor of Binns-Merrill Hall on the Alfred University Campus, the majority of its ceramic collection is housed in storage, awaiting construction of a dedicated museum building, to be housed on the current site of Davis Gym.
The Museum is a teaching and research facility, and part of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
