Rogalowe Muzeum (Croissant Museum), Poznan (must see)
Unlike conventional museums, the Croissant Museum is not just about observing exhibits. It offers an interactive and hands-on experience that allows visitors to actively participate in the local tradition of croissant baking, which has a rich history of 150 years. At the heart of the museum's experience is the St. Martin's Croissant, a beloved Poznań treat. Visitors have the chance to learn about the croissant's history, its significance in the city's culture, and even how to make one themselves, following an original recipe.
The St. Martin's Croissant, a cherished tradition in Poznań, Poland, is a century-old culinary delight protected by law. It all began when a local baker, inspired by a sermon promoting charity at St. Martin's church in the late 19th century, created this unique pastry to share with the less fortunate. Shaped like a horseshoe, it quickly became a symbol of kindness.
What sets this croissant apart is its meticulous preparation, with 81 layers of dough, each filled with a delightful mixture of poppy seeds, nuts, raisins, almonds, sugar, and butter. Glazed and sprinkled with sugar and nuts, these croissants weigh between 150 and 250 grams, offering both taste and substance.
The Croissant Museum prides itself on providing an intimate and relaxed atmosphere during live shows. Visitors can expect humor, interaction with the museum's hosts, and an engaging experience that brings Poznań's culture to life. The museum was founded by Szymon Walter, who had a vision of preserving and celebrating Poznań's cultural heritage, particularly the tradition of croissant baking.
