Montafon Alpine and Tourism Museum
The Montafon Tourism Museum in Gaschurn is located in an old early fair house and has existed since 1992. For 17 years, the history of tourism was presented here, but since 2009 the house has been reoriented. Based on the architecture of the old Walser house, which is impressive in its simplicity and beauty at the same time, and on its prominent resident Franz Josef Battlogg (1836-1900), the object will in future show a focus on alpine history. Battlogg, an early sacristan and later pastor, had created an international reputation for himself as an alpine pioneer and exceptional choirmaster in the late 1860s and 1870s. He described Gaschurn as the "vestibule to the great mountain world" and it is in this spirit that the museum will operate in the future. Changing special exhibitions here also refer to the local area but also to the main themes shown in the other Montafon museums.
Permanent exhibition "Welcome to the Montafon. Tourism history of an alpine valley", Montafon spinning room, open singing, eyewitness memory talks, meeting café according to the calendar of events.
Special exhibition "The Montafon "under Hitler" (Strength through Joy) - an exhibition series of the Montafon Museums
On the occasion of the 75th commemoration of the liberation from the Nazi regime, the Montafon museums this year focus on the regional history of the years 1938-45. In addition to a special exhibition, which will cover all four museums, there will also be a year-round programme of events on the subject.
The programme of the changing exhibitions can be found at montafoner-museen.at.
