In 1993, exactly 100 years after Peter Mitterhofer passed away, the
town of Partschins gave his old son a proper memorial, by opening
a small museum in Toell. In 1997 the museum moved to the new built
"Teisenhaus", situated in the centre of Partschins near
the church. On the 31st of May 1998, the new museum was inaugurated
officially.
The very modern architecture underlines the special importance
of the museum for Partschins. The "shop window" - as it
is named locally - over the main entrance, invites the visitor into
the museum, and at the same time, connects the interior of the museum
with the church square outside.
The interior of the museum has four different levels, which creates
a lot of interesting perspectives. With the introduction of new
forms of demonstration, like dioramas and the use of new media of
communication, the director of the museum, Mr. Kurt Ryba, succeeded
in making the presentation of the historical development of the
typewriter a delightful experience.
