1st Tyrolean wood museum

An opportunity in wood: In the 1st Tyrolean wood museum you can follow the history of the country. As a wood carver and decorative sculptor, working with the medium of wood, Hubert Salcher did not want its history to fall into oblivion.

To mark the 20-year anniversary of his wood carving workshop, in 1996 he realised a dream by opening the wood museum. It is the first of its kind in western Austria (there is another museum in Styria). In this wooden two-storey residential building, built by Hubert Salcher and in keeping with the style of these traditional buildings, there are around 2000 exhibits - ranging from woodworm to wooden nails, from the oldest folk song harp in Tyrol, to one of the oldest Christmas cribs. The exhibits include so many curio too.

Details about opening times can be found at the homepage www.holzmuseum.com.
