This is a remarkably large and impressive museum featuring a series of old Bavarian buildings in a park-like setting, with a small train trundling between areas that represent different regions. You can also walk between them. I was particularly impressed with the craftsmanship of the...More
So many interesting houses and mini exhibitions are integrated nicely into the idyllic landscape. They even have a train that leaves every 30 minutes. Lots of history is covered, from the hard live anno 1400-1800, to an electricity power station anno 1916.
Rural architecture, mostly farm buildings built between 1700 and 1900 have been moved here from their original locations throughout Salzburg, cared for and preserved here. You can enter many of the buildings, which include period home furnishings and farm equipment. Good explanations are in German...More

I visited this museum on my last day in Salzburg. I took the bus to get there, and it dropped me off pretty close to the museum itself. And it was really interesting, with all types of buildings you would find in a typical village...More
Huge collection of old farm houses, barns, and other rural buildings. Great if you've been elsewhere in Austria and wondered how those old barns and farmhouses look on the inside. The only thing that's missing is some town buildings, unfortunately. The large numbers of buildings...More
The museum is huge (we spent 4 hours there) and quite interesting, although a certain repetitiveness can't be denied. They tried by distributing the more unusual houses evenly, but still, there's only so much you can do with a farmhouse, I suppose.
