I had been expecting to find a museum devoted to the history of bread-making, different techniques and grains and so on, which might have been mildly interesting to a non-specialist like myself but no more. I wax completely wrong. There is something on the history of bread-making, techniques, grains, etc, but the main focus is on the uniquely important place of bread in human social, political and religious thinking - Taking the bread from our mouths. Bread and circuses. Our daily bread. Breaking bread.... Absolutely fascinating. There's a lift if you need one, and a small shop downstairs. Very friendly people.
I just loved this place - spread over four floors it is all about bread - from works of art (eg by Dali, Chagall, Banksy!) to the history of bread to the politics of bread - really fascinating and a lot more fun than it sounds!
What can I say? It is just a museum all about bread. If it is a rotten day and you don't want to be in the elements, you might put this on your list.
Not fascinated, actually quite bored.Good enough to spend one hour instead of walking all the time. The exhibits were all connected with the art of breadmaking, but some of them were of little interest.
I didn't expect to find a Bread Culture Museum (ever) but guess what? they have one here in Ulm. One more time very informative and nice. Highly recommended.
Wer sich schon immer mal für die Geschichte des Brotes und der langen Tradition des Backens interessiert hat, ist hier am richtigen Ort. Schön hergerichtet ist es jederzeit einen Besuch wert.....
Worth a stop, but only if you have done everything else in the area which interests you. The museum begins promising with some hands on areas with various grains and milling techniques. Also the top floor has an interesting farming video.Some of the displays are very interesting, but there is very little English, and the presentation while well done, is not captivating.Keep this one to help full a rainy day.
Das Brotmuseum sollte man gesehen haben,nicht nur weil Brot ein Grundnahrungsmittelist sondern es ist wirklich einzigartig.Intressant und Lehrreich. wolf aus Basel.
Just 2 to3 euros per student, this place was amazing! The knowledge shared was creatively done and the size of the museum wasn't over-wheming. If only they had a bakery attached or a tasting section! Be sure to stop here while in Ulm, you will enjoy it for sure. Staff was friendly too. You can easily get through the place in 1 hour but 2 or more would be worthwhile. Another great thing is that you can take pictures just so long as you don't use flash which is so cool because there are some beautiful paintings and the like here. It might be a good idea to eat something before going in since you will be learning and staring at bread for a while. Yummm!
Because Germany is known for its wonderful bakeries, going to the Museum der Brotkultur (Bread Museum) is a great learning experience. Travel back in time to see how grains have always been a part of every culture. See how these grains have become different types of bread and experience the tools and machines that are used in the making of bread. A wonderful experience.
