MuseumPasseier, Ethnographic and history museum in St. Leonhard in Passeier, Italy.
MuseumPasseier occupies 500 square meters within the Sandhof Inn and features three exhibition areas focused on regional history, local figures, and valley traditions. The spaces display tools, everyday objects, and information about the area's identity.
The building is the birthplace of Andreas Hofer, the Tyrolean resistance leader who organized uprisings against French forces in 1809. His connection shapes the site's historical importance.
The displays show traditional farmsteads and regional music collections that reflect daily life in the valley. These objects reveal how people here worked and lived in earlier times.
Wheelchair access is available throughout the main building, with an elevator serving the upper levels. Visitors should note that the exhibition spans multiple floors and requires time to explore.
In the 'Heroes & Us' section, visitors stand on podiums lit by light cones to contemplate modern interpretations of heroism and civic duty. This interactive installation invites reflection on what heroism means today.
