Museumsfriedhof, Open-air museum in Kramsach, Austria
The Museumsfriedhof displays over 100 wrought iron crosses with inscriptions collected from Alpine regions, forming an outdoor exhibition space without actual graves.
Master stonemason Hans Guggenberger established the museum in 1965 after gathering crosses and epitaphs from North Tyrol, South Tyrol, Salzburg, and Bavaria.
The inscriptions on the crosses demonstrate regional Alpine humor through epitaphs that reflect local attitudes toward life, death, and daily experiences.
The museum operates from May to December, Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, with an entrance fee of 4 euros per person.
Each cross features specific inscriptions that tell stories about individuals, including one about Jakob Nissl who reportedly met his end from drinking too much self-brewed beer.
