The Leather and Tanning Museum in Mülheim an der Ruhr is a private institution that focuses on the history and manufacturing process of leather and its various end products. This museum provides a comprehensive insight into the evolution of leather production, from its early stages to the modern techniques used today.
Part of the Route of Industrial Heritage
Opened in September 2003, the Leather and Tanning Museum is a part of the Route of Industrial Heritage, specifically Theme Route 12, which focuses on the history and present of the Ruhr. This makes the museum not only a place of learning but also a part of a larger journey through the industrial history of the region.
Exhibits at the Museum
The museum showcases historical and modern tools used in tanning and leather production. Visitors have the opportunity to touch some of the semi-finished and finished products on display. The museum also provides information on unique aspects of leather, such as 'butt leather', and even offers the chance to feel what the skin of a whale is like.
