Deutsches Knopfmuseum, Button museum in Bärnau, Germany

The German Button Museum displays collections of buttons from four centuries, manufactured from 26 different materials, alongside production machinery and manufacturing methods.

The museum originated from Rudolf Jäpel's private collection in 1975 and relocated to the former municipal brewery building in 1998.

The institution documents the evolution of button manufacturing in Bärnau, where 32 factories operated during the industry peak in 1957.

Between April and October, visitors can explore the museum from Thursday to Sunday and during public holidays between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM.

The museum exhibits clothing made from over 18,500 buttons and presents both the largest and smallest mother-of-pearl buttons in existence.
