Open since 1984, the Jacobs Museum (named after a 19th-c. coffee merchant from Bremen, Germany) focuses less on science than on the social dimensions of coffee—how the coffee trade influenced global economic development; how coffeehouse culture differed from country to country, class to class, and gender to gender; the complicated rituals associated with brewing, serving, and packaging coffee; and popular images of coffee from generation to generation.Closing days: Monday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,
