Museum of Toruń Gingerbread
Muzeum Toruńskiego Piernika
Learn the history of Toruń gingerbread in a former century-old gingerbread factory, then press and bake your own in the workshop.
Toruń gingerbread has a history of more than seven centuries and is the city's most famous specialty. The Gingerbread Museum, run by the regional museum, occupies a 19th-century gingerbread factory and displays antique carved wooden gingerbread molds and packaging. Visitors can make gingerbread with traditional molds in the workshop and take it home. The Old Town also has a privately run 'Living Gingerbread Museum', which focuses on performance-style guided tours and is also good for families. Workshop places are limited, so during peak season it's best to book on the official website in advance.
