    • Visit the wonderful world of ceramics and tableware with your family!

      Enter the colorful world of ceramics and earthenware by Samadet! Discover the techniques of making earthenware! Admire the colors, the decorations, the shapes of earthenware that have followed one another during a century of production.

      Travel through time and explore the world of tableware with set tables!

      Discover that tastes and table manners evolve over the centuries and lifestyles, that the plate appeared on tables during the reign of François I, that spoons with a coral handle made it possible to discover poisoned foods , that the fork has still not had four tines and that restaurants were invented only in the 18th century that the Poire Belle-Hélène was created by a cook before the construction of the Eiffel Tower.

      The departmental earthenware and tableware museum has signed up to the MomART charter. Games (treasure hunts, coloring) are available to families.

      Information at reception.

      FAMILY WORKSHOPS: April 20 and 27 / July 13, 20 and 27 / August 3, 10 and 17 / October 27 and 29 at 3 p.m.

      During the school holidays, our little visitors and "future potters" are invited to take part in artistic practice workshops.

      Sharing moments of creativity, experimenting with modeling clay, expressing your talent by painting on a plate using 18th century techniques will allow the whole family to make unforgettable memories and rediscover a certain zen.

    35 kilometers south of Mont-de-Marsan on the road to Hagetmau, the earthenware and tableware museum welcomes you to Samadet, a charming village in Tursan. In a vast white building, this departmental museum is devoted to the history and manufacturing secrets of earthenware, a historical heritage of the Landes. Founded in 1730 by the marquis and abbot of Roquépine, the pottery of Samadet quickly became a Royal Manufacture with many associated privileges. In the first room of the earthenware museum, imagine how this factory works thanks to its representation on a large panel. Then contemplate some 300 pieces of earthenware from Samadet, renowned for the quality of the local clays and their delicate decorations of butterflies, roses or wood pigeons. The highlight of the visit is a precious vinegar cruet with a prancing horse. In the last room, dedicated to tableware, period tables are set in a refined and cozy atmosphere. A very professional retired lady gives you explanations on the manufacture of earthenware and its different stages of firing and painting, when you are in a group. Then you have the shop that offers several souvenirs. Free private parking is available.
