The Gallery provides users with the opportunity to see the previous works from ceramists and institutions. Browsing through Gallery can give users an interactive experience that can take many forms. It serves the purpose of a connection between people and creators.

In the gallery, digitized photos and videos of hundreds of digitized ceramic objects from all over Europe with information on methods and techniques are shown here. All photos and videos are displayed in arrangements, where users can select the available categories to their liking that suits their interests, tastes, wishes, or preferences.
