The Pottery Museum of Red Wing in Minnesota more than quadrupled its space this summer when it opened a new 13,000-square-foot facility showcasing a wide range of pottery and stoneware produced in the town.

The Red Wing Stoneware Company began making products in the late 1870s. Pots, crocks, dishware, cookware, vases and other mostly functional items made there are still sought after by collectors.

Production ended in 1967 and resumed in the 1980s.

The museum, owned and maintained by the Red Wing Collectors Society Foundation, includes a research center, a classroom and a gift shop, where visitors can purchase collectible items donated to the museum. Also on display are memorabilia, vintage photographs and products related to the industry. Admission is free.

The building anchors a rejuvenated Historic Pottery District that includes restaurants, shops and a brewery. Tours of the Red Wing Stoneware Company are available.

A version of this article appears in print on 08/24/2014, on page TR3 of the NewYork edition with the headline: Minnesota: More Space for Pottery.
