For any denim lover, it is worth a visit to the home of Levi Strauss to see his fascinating life and materials but to see it with the famed artists’ work is an extra treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\u00c2\u00a01847 , he would emigrate to the USA \u00e2\u20ac\u201c finally settling in San Francisco and hitting gold with his patented pants with the development alongwith Jacob Davis. \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum opened in September 2000. With the biography of Levi Strauss, visitors can gain an insight into the lives of the rural Franconian Jewish Community, the world of the immigrants, the beginnings of the textile industry, and of course, all about our favorite material – jeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levi Strauss house is one of only a few preserved objects from his life and one of the oldest houses in Buttenheim . The district council bought it\u00c2\u00a0in 1987 and today is classified as a historical monument. A wide scale renovation of the dilapidated half-timbered house was done to bring it to as true to the original as possible. Imagine Levi walking around!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
