museum der brotkultur

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.

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.

This family run museum is well worth a visit.Most people know how bread is made but this place takes you right back to the beginning and creates a fascinating story of how bread came into being, right up to the present day.All housed in a wonderful building.

excellent exhibits, fascinating history and impressive array of displays from ancient Egyptian tomb figurines to modern posters and facts. I found it all fascinating and spent about two hours viewing it all. The 16th-century building was also very interesting, the staff helpful, and the bathrooms clean. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

After spending a hour or two here you'll want to at least treat yourself to a local pretzel. As other reviewers have mentioned, this museum not only covers how bread has been made over the years but there are some amazing exhibits detailing the role bread has played in history. If it's a cold or rainy day in Ulm, be sure to visit.

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.

A very interesting museum on the history of bread making on four floors. It's interesting because the displays vary in type; for example, there are written explanations, tableux, hands on displays and a large amount of paintings and drawings on the subject of bread. Obviously it's in German, because it's in Germany, but unless you're a fluent German speaker most of the texts will go over your head. It would be helpful if there was rather more written in English as most Europeans speak and read some English.

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.....

Wären wir nicht zufällig vorbeigekommen - wir hätten etwas versäumt! Mit sehr viel Professionalität aber auch/und Enthusiasmus wird auf 3 Stockwerken das Brot "beleuchtet". Seine Herstellung über die Zeit, von der Steinzeit bis zum Industriezeitalter, seine Bedeutung in der Geschichte vor allem aber auch die Folgen seines Fehlens machen dieses Museum zu einem der besten, die wir in den letzten 2 Jahren besucht haben. Vielleicht nicht unbedingt für Kinder geeignet, aber - definitiv einen Besuch wert.

Das Brotmuseum sollte man gesehen haben,nicht nur weil Brot ein Grundnahrungsmittelist sondern es ist wirklich einzigartig.Intressant und Lehrreich. wolf aus Basel.
