Local History Museum. Wattens

Further information will be announced shortly!


Situated right in the centre of Wattens, the Wattens Museum invites visitors to delve into the industrial and everyday history of the market town. With hands-on exhibits, videos, images and audio plays, the museum ensures a varied and engaging visit. Visitors can learn more here about the transformation from a typical Tyrolean farming village to an international industrial town.

At the heart of the Museum Wattens lies a quest: for home, for history, for identity and for a sense of direction. Despite its name, the institution does not see itself as a museum. Rather, it takes on the role of a cultural powerhouse. Fuelled by Wattens’ history, it drives the town forward.

Wattens is a magical place – a place where different layers of time and levels of meaning overlap. A history of settlement dating back to the Iron Age and a (pre-)industrial tradition stretching back to the Middle Ages have left their mark on Wattens.

The museum is temporarily closed.
