Yes, Ulm has a museum dedicated entirely to bread — and it's better than you'd expect. The collection traces 6,000 years of bread-making across cultures, from ancient Egyptian grain stores to medieval baking guilds to industrial milling. The social angle is what makes it interesting: bread as currency, bread riots, bread as religious symbol. The building itself, a restored Renaissance salt warehouse on the Danube, is worth a look. Small enough to cover in an hour.
