Vorarlberg museum, State art museum in Bregenz, Austria.
The Vorarlberg Museum is an art museum in Bregenz that holds collections on regional history, archaeology, and folk traditions. Its exhibitions display objects from medieval times to the present, showing how people lived and worked here across different eras.
The institution was founded in 1857 as a natural history museum with local collections. It moved to its current building in 1905 and underwent significant renovation in 2013.
The museum displays regional crafts and local art movements that shape Vorarlberg's identity. Visitors can see how these works reflect the region's character and continue to inspire artists today.
The museum is open most days from 10:00 to 18:00, with extended hours on Thursdays. Access is available for all visitors, including those with mobility needs.
The building's exterior is made from over 16,000 imprints of plastic bottle bottoms pressed into concrete. This pattern gives the structure an unexpected appearance that blends recycling with contemporary design.
