The Çanakkale Ceramic Museumis an embodiment of a long-lasting dream. This trip, which started in 2006 with the efforts of a handful of people is an output of a very difficult but yet an enjoyable dream, remaking Çanakkale a “Ceramic City”, which currently is still voluntarily supported by many people from every walk of life in the city which sometimes halts and sometimes gains big acceleration.
Numerous works for the introduction and popularisation of ceramic in national and international fields have been brought into life at the museum that has hosted 17 various periodical exhibitions and collections since the day on which it started to render service.

Troia Ancient City is the oldest known residential area of the Çanakkale region. It has been observed from the Ancient City excavations that ceramics dates back to quite old times. It is seen that the ceramic production in the region has continued since Troia I, which had been founded in 3000's BC and the production intensity, product variety and amount have continuously developed and changed in the historical process.

It is seen that the first examples of ceramics that were characterised as Çanakkale Ceramics were centred around Kaleiçi (Citadel) district in Çanakkale’s central subprovince which was mentioned in the 15th century as ‘Kale-i Sultaniye’, described in Piri Reis’s Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of Navigation) and Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname (Book of Travels), and due to this intense production and characteristic features, the name of the city was changed into “Çanakkale”. Çanakkale is one of the three cities in the world that is entitled by ceramics.
