"Churn Your Life Around"
Opened in 1770, the Butter Exchange was responsible for grading all shipments before they were exported to the rest of the world. It formerly supplied butter to Great Britain's Royal Navy. By 1892, the exchange was exporting around half a million casks of butter every year, bringing prosperity to the city. Although the exchange closed in 1924, the museum has since become a popular tourist attraction. The Butter Museum is situated in the heart of Shandon, on the north side of the city, opposite the famous Bells.
