Paneum

Paneum, Museum of bread in Asten, Austria.

Description

Paneum is a museum dedicated to bread located in the Austrian town of Asten, housed in a distinctive building with curved metal forms. The structure spans multiple floors with exhibition spaces connected by wheelchair-accessible pathways.

History

The museum opened in 2017 as a contemporary building designed by the architecture firm Coop Himmelb(l)au and has since expanded the region's cultural offerings. The choice of modern design reflects the contrast between traditional craftsmanship and current perspectives.

Culture

The exhibitions show how bread is made and eaten differently across cultures and what role it plays in everyday life. Visitors see traditional methods displayed alongside modern practices.

Practical

The visit works best when you take time to explore all floors, as each covers different aspects of the subject. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes to easily navigate the pathways between the exhibition areas.

Did you know?

The building itself is designed to resemble a loaf of bread, making the architecture itself a focal point of the visit. This playful approach shows how the subject is woven into every detail of the experience.
