Built between 1553 and 1563 as the "New Abbey". Converted into a school in 1785; since 1929 the building has served as a museum.
It is the most important folk-art collection in the Alpine region including reconstructed rooms and parlors, original furniture, authentic costumes, old farming implements, and carnival masks. Its unique exhibition of historical and traditional Christmas crèches is open all year round.
The rich exhibits provide visitors with perfect insights into the versatile folk culture of Tirol and its people.
