Matschgerer Museum. Absam
The “Matschgerer Museum” offers an insight into the passion with which the village of Absam has long celebrated the Tyrolean Fasnacht. Wooden larven (masks), Matschgerer costumes (Carnival costumes) , photos from previous years and paintings give visitors a taste of Absam’s Fasnacht. Up to 200 different Larven (masks), the oldest wooden mask of which is around 200 years old, can be admired in the museum. A desire to preserve the village’s carnival tradition led the Absam Matschgerer to establish this small but excellent museum in 1985. The museum is located in the village’s former fire station. In addition to the museum, the building also houses a clubhouse, which is used for gatherings, meetings and club evenings.
