is one heck of a pigsty: 45,000 paintings, lucky trinkets, antiques, cartoons, piggy
banks and a veritable mountain of cuddly toys cover the entire porcine spectrum. Since opening in
2010 in the city's 100-year-old former slaughterhouse, the kitsch-cool museum has drawn crowds
to its exhibits spotlighting everything from pig worship to wild boar hunt rituals. In the adjacent
beer garden (mains €12 to €19), you can pig out on schnitzel, fat stubby pork knuckles and more.
