Like most major Polish cities, Poznan is home to countless museums and some of the very best happen to have one thing in common. Instead of exploring the history and art scene of this European country, these three quirky museums are dedicated to one thing everyone loves—food!

Croissant Museum

Croissants originate in France, but that’s not stopping them from being a huge hit in Poland. St. Martin’s croissants filled with white poppy-seed filling are one of Poznan’s most popular desserts and what a better place to try them than a museum dedicated to their history, where you can learn how to make them on your own.

Potato Museum

Potatoes are impossible not to love and Poznan has a whole museum that explores their history, how they ended up in Europe, and how they’re associated with Poland. The tour includes a workshop where you can season and prepare potatoes.

Chocolate Museum

Chocolate museums are scattered all around the world so it’s not a surprise that Poznan has its own. One of the city’s biggest sweet temptations, this museum is a perfect place to learn more about the history of chocolate and the chocolate-making process, while sampling sweet treats and learning how to make chocolate bars.
