Why a Museum?
Well, that is a very good question! Let me tell you a little story, which will give you an idea as to why...
The collection began about 35 years ago when we did not have a pepper mill at home, that worked. So off we went on a quest to find the right one. At first we found one or two, then three or four, until it became an entertainment. Soon we found the world of shakers, where the shapes, themes and colors are endless (as you will see)
