The Museum of Toruń Gingerbread ( Polish: Muzeum Toruńskiego Piernika) is a museum dedicated to Toruń gingerbread. It claims to be the largest gingerbread museum in Europe. [1]
Opened in 2015, it is a branch of the District Museum in Toruń and was created with the cooperation with Kopernik, the oldest Polish confectionery company.

[2] Included are a children’s area, interactive displays, videos, communist era interiors recreation, etc. Culinary workshops are offered to the visitors as well.
