Hutmuseum Nürnberg, Hat museum in Sebalder Altstadt, Nuremberg, Germany.
Hutmuseum Nürnberg occupies two connected buildings with a vaulted cellar and displays a complete hatmaker's workshop with all original tools and materials. The rooms are arranged to show how hats were produced daily in this working space.
Johann Brömme opened his first hatmaking workshop in the Innere Laufer Gasse in 1878. After the Second World War the firm expanded as "Hut-Brömme" with branches in Nuremberg and Erlangen. Horst Brömme, fifth-generation owner, opened the private museum in the original shop and workshop on 3 May 2003 for the company's 125th anniversary.
The name "Hut-Brömme" comes from the founding family, whose shop fittings and workshop are still in place. The museum opened on 3 May 2003 for the firm's 125th anniversary, and Horst Brömme, the fifth-generation owner, runs it as a private collection. Visitors see original tools and materials used to make hats.
The museum is located in the old town and easy to reach on foot. Plan for about one hour to look through the workshop and examine the displayed items at a comfortable pace.
