Egersund has a prestigious porcelain and ceramics museum called the Fayancemuseum. The museum was formerly a pottery plant known as the Egersunds Pottery. This plant was opened in 1847 and its owner was Johann Feyer, a ceramist that did some studies in Newcastle, England. At some point, pottery and Feyer’s plant was the most desired place to work in Egersund. Today, the Egersund Fayancemuseum is a place that gathers all sorts of pottery products, from mugs to figurines.
