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 hatmaking workshop here in 1887 and the craft remained in the family for over a century. The workshop later became a museum to preserve this important part of Nuremberg's craft heritage.
The exhibition shows how hatmakers worked at their benches and practiced their craft across the generations. Visitors can see the role this profession played in the city's daily life.
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.
It is the smallest museum in the city and has been run by the Brömme family for generations. This direct connection to the original hatmaking family makes the visit feel personal and authentic.
