Three threads through the bakery
The collection is organised around biscuits and cakes, bread, and confectionery. This structure lets you compare different kinds of baking and the skills behind them.
Objects behind the product
The collection includes baking moulds, hand tools and machines, as well as shop interiors, packaging and recipe books. Look at how a recipe, its tools and its presentation come together in a product.
Biscuits as a museum story
Biscuits form an important part of the collection. Compare a mould or package with a finished product and notice what changed in making and selling it. Demonstration times vary; the museum lists them on its own website.
