Small objects, a great deal of design
Pipes can vary greatly in material, size and decoration. With each object, look at its construction first, then read or hear where it comes from. That way it is not just a striking object, but gains a cultural background.
A collection from many regions
The collection spans different continents and periods. The guided tour helps to make sense of that variety. When comparing objects, ask which similarities are visible and what information about their use is actually known.
A historic building with stairs
The museum is on the bel-etage and has no wheelchair access. Buying a ticket online is recommended; cash payment is mentioned for the desk. Separate booking options and conditions apply to a special reception.
Before you go
Allow for the stairs and check the ticket, method of payment and any surcharge with an admission pass.
