  Vintschger Museum Schluderns
 
Situated in a restored building from the 16th century, the Vintschger Museum tries to convey the thousands-of-years-old history of everyday life in the Vinschgau.
 
Program


The permanent exhibition "Archaic Vinschgau" gives insights into the everyday lives of arable farmers and cattle-breeders, trade, the religious sacrifice rituals and the handicraft work of the pre-historic population.

The thematically-arranged exhibition shows in particular the sensational finds of Ganglegg, a fortified mountain settlement of the Bronze and Iron Ages above Schluderns.

In the summer months guided tours to Ganglegg are offered by prior arrangement with the museum.

The permanent "Wasserwosser" exhibition is largely concerned with the traditional irrigation systems in the dry Vinschgau. These exhibitions are documented with models, machines and audio-visual methods which portray the everyday lives of Vinschgau farmers from the Middle Ages to the present.

Exhibition "100 years of electricity in the Vinschgau" (With the privatisation of electricity this has become a current and hotly-disputed subject in the Vinschgau.) The exhibition reflects the history of electricity in the Vinschgau from the beginnings to the present time and documents it with pieces of equipment, historical documents, photos, etc.
