Geburtshaus Levi Strauss Museum Jeans & Kult

The Levi Strauss Museum is housed in the birthplace of Levi Strauss, the inventor of blue jeans, in Buttenheim in Upper Franconia. The internationally recognised museum tells his life story — from a humble Jewish peddler's son to a wealthy textile manufacturer in California — alongside the cultural history of jeans. Exhibits include a permanent collection, special exhibitions and museum education programmes.
