Museum of Tyrolean Farms, Open-air heritage museum in Kramsach, Austria
The Museum of Tyrolean Farms is an open-air museum on a large site with 37 historical buildings from different Tyrolean regions. The collection includes farmhouses, barns, sheds, and workshops that show how rural communities designed their homes and work buildings.
The museum was founded in 1974 to preserve farmhouses and rural structures from disappearing. The buildings date from various periods of pre-industrial times and document how farming life developed across Tyrolean valleys.
The museum displays how farming families lived and worked across different valleys, with real houses you can enter and explore. The buildings give a sense of what daily rural life looked like and which craft skills were essential for survival.
The museum is best explored on foot, as a marked path leads through the buildings so you can view the structures at your own pace. There are resting spots and picnic areas where you can rest and enjoy the surroundings.
Some buildings feature audio installations where historical characters describe their lives and share their perspective on daily work. These accounts help visitors imagine what it felt like to live in that time.
