Poznań Croissant Museum
Rogalowe Muzeum Poznania
In an attic beside the Old Market Square, follow a “master baker” as you watch and learn to make St Martin’s croissants, in a witty, interactive show.
St Martin’s croissant (Rogal świętomarciński) is a Poznań specialty with EU Protected Geographical Indication status. Its crescent-shaped pastry is filled with white poppy seeds, almonds and dried fruit. The museum occupies the top floor of an old building at one corner of the Old Market Square. In an experience of about one hour, styled as a performance, a host explains the history of bread and the Poznań dialect in a theatrical way. Visitors can come up on stage to knead dough, and finally taste the results. English-language sessions are few, so book in advance on the official website. Tickets cost about 30 zł.
Opening hours
Multiple shows daily (check the official website for showtimes)
