Museum of Bread and Art
Museum Brot und Kunst
A specialty museum devoted to bread. It covers grain cultivation and baking, the history of famine, and related artworks.
The Museum of Bread and Art was founded in 1955 in a 16th-century granary in the northwest of the old town. It is one of the few museums in the world devoted entirely to bread. The exhibits trace grain cultivation, milling, and baking tools, as well as the meaning of bread in religion and daily life. The museum also confronts famine and food shortages. Its collection includes works by artists such as Picasso, Dalí, and Käthe Kollwitz that relate to bread and hunger. Explanations in English and Chinese are limited, so an audio guide is recommended. Tickets cost a few euros, and it is about a 5-minute walk from the cathedral.
