Schweinemuseum

Schweinemuseum is an art museum in Stuttgart dedicated entirely to pigs, featuring over 40,000 objects on display. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and everyday items arranged across thematic rooms.

The museum was founded in 1989 from a private collection and grew into one of the world's largest institutions of its kind. Over the years it became a center for documenting the historical and cultural significance of pigs in human societies.

The museum explores pigs through art, literature, and crafts from different cultures around the world. Visitors encounter works showing the animal in religious and everyday contexts.
