新北市立鶯歌陶瓷博物館是臺灣第一座以陶瓷為主題的專業博物館，於2000年11月26日正式開館啟用，致力於臺灣陶瓷文化之調查、收藏、保存與維護，從事研究、典藏、展示及教育推廣工作。同時也積極促進國際交流合作，於2011年成立國際駐村研習中心，設有工作空間、課程教學空間、窯室、原料室、石膏室等陶藝創作設備，並藉由臺灣陶藝駐村計畫，每年提供12-14個名額給合作機構及獲選藝術家進駐使用(3個月一期)，鼓勵國內外陶藝家與設計師深度體驗鶯歌陶藝駐村的生活，以提升創作的能量，並透過講座、研討會或相關教育課程活動將成果散播出去。近幾年，陶博館設定不同駐村創作主題，邀請藝術家提案，希望提供在地的文化交流，以落實博物館與社區的互動關係。

New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum (YCM) opened on November 26, 2000, and is Taiwan's first ceramics-themed museum. It is dedicated to the investigation, collection, preservation, and maintenance of Taiwan's ceramics culture, as well as to research, curation, exhibition, and promotional education. YCM actively engages in international exchange. In 2011, the International Residency Center was established, with ceramic-creation facilities such as studios, classrooms, a kiln room, a material room, and a plaster room. Each year, the Taiwan Ceramics Residency Program provides 12~14 opportunities for cooperative agencies and artists through a 3-month residency in order to encourage ceramic artists and designers, both local and global, to come and experience the life in a pottery town, infusing creative energy into their work. Seminars, workshops, and educational events are held to showcase results of the residency. In recent years, YCM has designated different themes for the residency and called for artist proposals, hoping to increase local cultural exchange and boost the interaction between the museum and the community.
