SchweineMuseum Stuttgart

SchweineMuseum Stuttgart is a museum housed in a former slaughterhouse administration building that focuses on everything related to pigs. The collection spans multiple rooms with objects from art, crafts, history, and gastronomy.

The collection started in 1988 from private objects and was later housed in this Art Nouveau building, which once served as the administration office for Stuttgart's slaughterhouse. The move to this location occurred in 2010, establishing the museum in its present form.

The museum displays pigs from many perspectives: as art objects, in religious representations, in fashion, and in everyday items. Visitors see how different cultures portray the animal and what role it plays in their daily lives.

The museum is easy to access and offers many places to rest: a restaurant and beer garden invite visitors to eat and drink. Guests should plan enough time to explore the many rooms and collections.

The museum holds the world record as the largest pig museum and collects objects found nowhere else - from antique toys to artworks. The breadth of the collection shows how deeply pigs have influenced human history.
