The museum has occupied the Alte Pfarrhof at Seestraße 17 since 1999. Its 17 rooms hold around 850 exhibits covering the period from the 14th century to the present. A focus is the Benedictine abbey of Tegernsee, which existed from 746 to 1803 and is represented by books, portraits of the abbots and altar panels.
The exhibits show how families in this region lived and worked in their homes and on their farms. The rooms display objects from daily life that reveal the traditions and choices people made in organizing their houses and communities.
It is best to visit with advance reservations and a guided tour of the rooms. The building's historical structure limits wheelchair accessibility, so visitors with mobility needs should contact ahead to discuss options.
The museum preserves two complete wedding furniture sets from 1809 and 1851, showing what brides received when they married and started their households. These wedding inventories reveal personal choices and wealth in ways that are rarely documented elsewhere.
