Thanks for the break Steve, I need to catch my breath! This must be one of the best hat museums you've seen?

 

[mayserwegener]

Mike, Thanks! It's a really great museum. They certainly didn't spare any costs. The main focus is straw hats because this was a straw hat (Boater hats mostly) center. Mayser 's headquarters are in Lindenberg although they moved all hat production to Slovakia a few years ago.

The Novy Jicin / Neutitshein (Czech Republic) museum has the most impressive hat collection (JHS, AP, BB) I have seen.
