• All over the world there are, according to some sources, 13 museums dedicated to bread. In this issue, we present one of the largest in the world – the Museum of Bread in Seia, Portugal.
Established in 2002, Museu do Pão in Seia is a small private museum dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of Portuguese bread. 
The museum has become an important tourist attraction in Portugal, a country where there are over a hundred types of bread, and the character that symbolizes national independence is a baker.
The museum, a three-storey hilltop building 350 kilometers north of Lisbon, is unique in the Iberian Peninsula and displays ancient utensils, ceramics, numismatics and iconography, while covering the social, artistic and religious aspects of the history of bread. The museum does not ignore the legend of the baker from Aljubarrota, who in 1385 put the Spanish invaders to flight with a wooden palette for bread. 
Museum visitors can bake their own bread, enjoy local specialties at the on-site restaurant and participate in various workshops. The museum complex has a covered area of over 3.500 square meters, making it one of the largest, if not the largest, bread museum in the world.
