Schweinemuseum

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:27:33

Billing itself as the world’s biggest pig museum, the Schweinemuseum is one heck of a pigsty: 45,000 paintings, lucky trinkets, antiques, cartoons, piggy banks and a veritable mountain of cuddly toys cover the entire porcine spectrum. Since opening in 2010 in the city’s 100-year-old former slaughterhouse, the kitsch-cool museum has drawn crowds to its exhibits spotlighting everything from pig worship to wild boar hunt rituals. In the adjacent beer garden (mains €12 to €19), you can pig out on schnitzel, pork knuckles and more.
