The house was bought by the Heimatverein Nieheim in 1998, converted and set up as a bag museum. In the building, which was built in 1908 by the trader Salli Ikenberg, was a country trade in which grain, potatoes, seeds , animal feed, fertilizer and the like were traded in sacks.
The museum now has a considerable collection of sacks, bags and bags of all kinds. From what is probably the smallest mailbag in the world to the largest, the hop sack, you can see everything about sacks in the sack museum. Because money, letters and parcels, coal, shoes, instruments, trousseau, clothes and even garbage were or are being transported in sacks. But also the straw sack on which you slept, the bagpipes with which you play music, and the bell bag belong to the fundus.
