Description Destination

The DIORAMA is a remarkable little museum: Since 1954, it has been showing a lifelike three-dimensional depiction of the Christmas story with over 450 hand-carved figures on an area of ​​over 80 m2.

The nativity scene created by Ferdinand Pöttmesser from Innsbruck around 1930 is almost 100 years old. The Bavarian painter Bartholomäus Wappmannsberger and the sculptor Rheinhold Zeller were responsible for the painting and the sculptural representation of the scenes.

A beautiful mineral and fossil collection with over 1,200 exhibits from all over the world has been on display in the basement since 1998. It took over 40 years to collect some of the unusual objects: Alpine quartz, fossilized creatures and large crystals from South America and China.

Special offers for groups and schools/museum shop and small visitor café.
