Inside the Leeds castle lies a fascinating museum that holds a wide collection of dog collars. An impressive assemblage of 130 rare collars, there are some 30 odd ones that have never been on public display before. The exhibits here date back to the 15th and 16th century made of iron worn for protection against wolves. There are sparkly silver and engraved ones as well that materialise as royal. The products look like a designer’s collection but that of a dog collar. The museum presents generous donations of avid collectors, displayed in a creative manner to appeal to the masses.

A museum dedicated to your beloved bread, there is not even one edible loaf that you will find inside. Started by Wlly Eiselen and his son Hermann Eiselen, it remained a private institution until 1991 and was later taken over by a charitable foundation. There are approximately 18,000 artefacts related to the history of bread, ancient tools, including art and impressive pieces of Picasso and others. A trip to this museum will be quite insightful, however the founder believed that bread should not be kept here as it is a freshly baked delicacy, which is why we recommend you carry your own sandwich.
