History: The museum was founded in 1844 under the Imperial Porcelain Factory, which in 1925 was renamed the Leningrad M.V. Lomonosov Porcelain Factory. The factory itself was founded in 1744 as the Porcelain Manufactory (Portselinovaia manufaktura), the first in Russia and one of the first in Europe. In 1765 it was renamed the Imperial Porcelain Factory (Imperatorskii farforovyi zavod). Nationalized after the Revolution, it was reorganized as the State Porcelain Factory in 1923, and in 1925 took the name of Lomonosov. According to an October 1998 newspaper report, the factory was sold to an as-yet-undeclosed foreign buyer, which, it is to be hoped, will not affect the museum, factory archive, and its rich graphic collections. The Museum of Porcelain of the Imperial Porcelain Factory Division of the State Hermitage was established in 2003 on the basis of the historical collection of the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory Museum. |
