If you get the chance to go this before it closes, it's well worth it. I managed to get there at the weekend whilst visiting friends. Two rooms with about 150 pieces on display, all from Madoura, including some unique pieces.

I really love the Madoura Picasso ceramics... I wish I could have afforded to keep the one piece I got my sticky mits on :(
