Salt – mysterious, versatile & indispensable
The Westphalian Salt Worlds Adventure Museum takes you on a journey of discovery that traces the history of the white gold. In Bad Sassendorf and along the Hellweg, brine is unearthed from which people have been extracting salt for centuries. Everyone knows sodium chloride, but it holds many secrets. The inconspicuous crystal is behind a surprising number of phenomena and things.
An adventure museum for all the senses
In the Westphalian Salt Worlds, visitors experience salt with all their senses and discover unexpected facets of the precious crystal. In addition to the formation of salt, its effects on the body, chemical experiments and the latest applications of brine and peat, the focus is on the history of salt production. By interacting and trying things out for themselves, all visitors playfully experience their own personal “salt” adventure in the adventure museum.
Special exhibitions
In addition to the interactive permanent exhibition, the Westphalian Salt Worlds also presents changing special exhibitions every year and delights museum fans of all ages with a wide variety of event formats. Whether salt boiling at the boiling pan, fragrant soaps and fire-breathing volcanoes for children’s birthday parties or a classic museum tour, the adventure museum offers groups and individual visitors an attractive program.
