Museum of Tyrolean Folk Art, Regional heritage museum in Old Town Innsbruck, Austria.
Volkskunstmuseum is a folk art museum in Innsbruck displaying traditional costumes, household goods, glass, pottery, furniture, textiles, tools, and metalwork from the region. The collection spans three floors and presents objects from medieval times to the modern era.
The building was once a Franciscan monastery with four wings built around a Renaissance courtyard. The monks later left and established their community anew in Lienz.
The displayed rooms come from historic Tyrolean farmhouses and noble residences, showing how people lived and furnished their homes. The furniture, textiles, and objects tell stories about the craftsmanship and taste of the region across several centuries.
The museum is located in the Old Town and opens daily, with audio guides available in several languages. Visitors should plan about two hours to see the collections comfortably.
The collection includes many handmade nativity scenes crafted from wood, wax, clay, and paper dating to the 1700s. These religious artworks often display remarkable detail and were popular items in homes throughout the region.
