Großes Walsertal Museum

Interesting things from Großes Walsertal can be admired at the Museum Großes Walsertal.

The imposing semi-detached house (formerly a three-part house) is probably one of the oldest houses in Sonntag. The building is 500 years old and is therefore itself a piece of history. In the past it has been a residential house, inn, dairy and bakery.

Since 1981 the house serves as a museum. The current exhibition comprises 15 rooms and a stable building, where objects from the life and history of the population of Großes Walsertal are shown. In addition, selected topics will be presented in special exhibitions.

This small architectural show focuses on a reorientation of attention: away from the things one sees and towards what one feels. A contemporary document for the valley and at the same time a plea for a new humanism in architecture. While the exhibition in the museum grows over the two years, house visits in the valley are about the awareness for a good building culture. Starting with redevelopment, densification and sustainable ways of living. The aim of the exhibition's expanded program is to provide first touches as well as in-depth experiences in the use of natural building materials.

Also part of the exhibition are excerpts from the project "Historical ArchitekTours". In recent years, a total of five Vorarlberg regions have selected architectural history objects and investigated them in an interdisciplinary approach. Designed for a traveling exhibition, the illustration of the numerous insights gained from this work provides insights into the history of cultural assets.
