Traditional Costume Museum
Women in traditional costume – a colourful sight, that characterises many a region of Bavaria. And in Franconia? Are the colourful garments ready for the museum or even extinct? Almost: In Franconian Switzerlans and the sourrounding area, you can still see woman in traditional costume, although their numbers are dwindling. In short: traditional costume has become a precious rarity here.
We preserve the knowledge of the last traditional costumes and exhibit unique pieces of clothing. A seperate museum is dedicated to the phenomenon of "traditional costume".
