Kutschenmuseum Hinterstein, Carriage museum in Bad Hindelang, Germany.

The Kutschenmuseum Hinterstein is a plain wooden shed near the Ostrach mountain stream in the village of Hinterstein. Inside, small connected compartments hold sleds and carriages arranged with life-sized dressed mannequins, prepared animals such as a wolf, fox, horse and bear, branches, stones and artificial snow. Mirrors line the walls and mirror balls turn on the ceiling.

Martin Weber, born in 1962, built the museum and gathered its sleds and carriages from across Europe, rearranging the displays repeatedly. After a new building was constructed, the museum reopened in 2018 following two and a half years of work. Critics argue that the amateur presentation exposes the exhibits to damage and favours kitsch over information.

The museum is a private collection assembled by Martin Weber, who changes the arrangements from time to time. Visitors are asked not to speak inside; quiet music plays continuously instead. The scenes mix dressed mannequins with prepared animals such as a wolf, fox, horse and bear, plus branches, stones and artificial snow.

The museum is a plain wooden shed near the Ostrach stream in Hinterstein, divided into several small connected sections. Visitors are asked not to speak inside, where quiet music plays continuously. The garden holds sound objects, wind chimes and a candle-lit artificial grotto.

The museum uses mirror installations and rotating light spheres to create visual effects that make the vehicles appear in new ways. These special arrangements give the collection an unexpected visual dimension.
