Salt beneath Twente
The core display covers how salt layers formed and were discovered, and extraction past and present. Look in the diagrams for how water, drilling and evaporation are connected.
More than taste
Chemistry, health, the environment and culture make it clear that salt is both a substance and a carrier of meaning. For medical statements, rely on the museum’s explanations, not on your own conclusions.
Two thousand salt cellars
The cabinet shows a selection from more than two thousand salt cellars. Compare design, material and dispensing method, and see how an everyday product can become a status object.
