Alpine Museum Kempten

Alpine Museum Kempten, Alpine heritage museum in Kempten, Germany.

The Alpine Museum Kempten occupied four upper floors of the Marstall in Kempten, with a total exhibition area of 2,200 square metres. Its seven rooms covered the Alpine habitat, natural history, mountaineering from Horace-Bénédict de Saussure to Reinhold Messner, hybrid forms of mountain sports, snowshoes and sledges, and a ski collection. A large and a small special exhibition room were on the ground floor.

The Alpine Museum opened on 1 August 1991 as a branch of the Bavarian National Museum, with its collection and concept developed together with the German Alpine Club. It occupied the Marstall in Kempten, and from 2015 the former Alpine Gallery rooms on the ground floor were added. It closed at the end of 2021 during a restructuring of Kempten's museums, partly because the space was needed as interim storage for the new museum depot.

The exhibition presented tools used in mountain farming, traditional clothing, and objects that showed how Alpine communities lived and worked through the centuries. These items told stories about the skills and knowledge people needed to survive in this region.

The museum housed one of the largest collections of winter sports history in Europe with skiing equipment and mountain gear from different time periods. These objects showed how the techniques and materials for mountain activities changed across generations.
