Ortsmuseum Jois, Local history museum in Jois, Austria
The Ortsmuseum Jois occupies the basement rooms of the municipal office building, displaying artifacts from prehistoric times through the region's wine-making traditions.
The museum's foundation began in the 1960s when teacher Heinrich Weiss initiated a collection of local artifacts, which expanded significantly during the 1970s through community donations.
The museum features a reconstructed 1930s classroom and exhibits about daily life, showcasing furniture and household items from traditional Jois homes.
The museum underwent major renovations in 2005 due to woodworm infestation, resulting in thematic presentation spaces that guide visitors from the Stone Age to wine production.
The museum displays the archaeological find known as the Limping Germanic Woman of Jois among its Stone Age collection.
