Who we are
History
The past
Fibre, rope, paper, sail, medicine and ritual — ten thousand years in which hemp shaped trade routes and everyday life, and the century in which that story was interrupted. Below is what the museum holds and what it has checked.
The collection
Rope, cloth, medical texts, trade maps, tools and ritual objects, from the earliest pieces to colonial regulations.
The timeline, fact by fact
From Herodotus on the Scythians to the bans of the twentieth century. Each entry carries its source.
The glossary
The words the sources use — fibre, retting, cultivar, cannabinoid — explained without jargon.
