ABOUT US The museum was opened in 1996 and covers about 600 m2 on three floors. The collection is arranged thematically in various rooms with about 90 showcases, elegantly constructed of glass and aluminium. A special feature are the four "miniature cabinets", small rooms where only the small and smallest items are on exhibit at eye level. Angela Prader has great talent in exhibiting and in the use of lighting effects. She manages to create an extraordinary and individual atmosphere in every single showcase. The museum presents each year a different Special Exhibition to a specific topic (Special Exhibition) You may relax in the Museum Coffee where you can meet and discuss with other visitors.
