Jameson Experience

The Jameson Experience is an old whiskey distillery turned into a museum.

Day 174

The visitor centre is open since 1992 and is located in the Old Midleton Distillery. 

You can have a guided tour through the distillery which is around 75 minutes long and shows you how the Irish whiskey was made in the old distillery. It is very interesting to see the different fabrication steps and how the whiskey was made in this distillery. You can see the mill, the malting process and the huge pot stills which are the largest ever built.
Some people can take part in a whiskey tasting during the guided tour and a Jameson Signature drink is included in the entrance.
You can also visit the shop and buy different whiskey kinds or other merchandise related to whiskey.

The museum has changing exhibitions from contemporary photographers not only from Scandinavia but also from around the world. There are normally two to three different exhibitions at the same time, so it should be something there for everyone. They have a big shop as well where you can buy different art or photography books but also poster or postcards with pictures of the exhibitions. Directly under the roof is a cafe and a gallery where you can buy pictures from different artist.
Not only something for rainy days.

Roemer- and Pelizaeus Museum

The Roemer- and Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim is a great museum, which arose from a private collection of Egyptian artefacts.

Outtake Day 153

Permanent and Special Egypt exhibition

They have several permanent exhibitions, including ones about Egypt, America or Asia. Every year they have several special exhibitions, which are definitely worth a visit. I can still remember the ones about dinosaurs or the ice age. You can take pictures in some parts of the museum but not everywhere. You can take a guided tour through the museum or there are audio guides as well but I'm not sure if they have them in different languages. When you like museums or when you are facing a rainy day and want to do something, this is a good place to go.
