After visiting the museum exhibition, the visitor will have a complete picture of the ethnographic heritage of the historical region of Tyrol. The collection exhibits interior items, clothing, artisan crafts, tableware, furniture and other exhibits that recreate the atmosphere of the past centuries. The museum was created in 1888 at the initiative of the trade association of the city of Innsbruck. In 1926, the exposition moved to the territory of the former Franciscan monastery.

This museum is a little gem. You can buy a ticket which will let you visit other museums plus the church. Do not skip the church because it's wonderful, the statutes are so intricately detailed it's a pleasure to look.
When we went we also ..

I won't spoil it but I so recommend it, I imagine it's particularly good for children.
The museum itself is full of everyday object from olden times, a whole floor has rooms where people used to entertain, the atmosphere is really special.
There's clothes, furniture and lots more, I really enjoyed it as it gives an insight into the lives of people from the area.

Very good museum for a rainy day. The combo ticket for 12 euros covers 5 different locations but unfortunately we only had time to do the museum and the church. Both were awesome!

I loved this! If you can only do one thing in Innsbruck, visit this museum.
A huge collection of traditional Tyrolean home interiors (whole rooms), tools, household items, furniture, painted wood, games, costumes, clothing and accessories, photograph.. Read more »s: work in wood, metal, leather, bone, glass.
The details of decorations in all forms are outstanding.
From the garden there is a series of rooms with an audio visual presentation about Maximilian's life in languages one following the other (probably every 5 mins).
When you get to the church, you understand his burial location.
This is good for children as well.

A lot of interesting things in this central museum, and being together with the church makes it even more worth the visit, as both are included in the €12 museum ticket bundle. There trade items were really cool, carpentry and workers tools, coo.. Read more »king moulds, pans etc, although no English language description. The reconstructed rooms were a bit confusing and a lot seemed the same as each other. One thing that stuck out was a really strong smell of mould or mildew, seemed to come from the top floor, with all the creepy life size dolls/dummys. In one particular spot the smell was so strong I was almost was sick. My partner joked that maybe one of the dolls was a real dead body, the room was so creepy and together with the smell I actually felt really scared and creeped out. I would say if you visit just don't go to the top floor! First two are great.

I didn’t get to the museum but I wish I could have. I did see a pretty cool and engaging summary of Emperor Maximilians life and death. Check it out on the way to his tomb!

Probably one of my favorite museums ever. Most people only see the first floor and go straight to the church. Dont make this mistake! The top two floors are fantastic to see and was empty of people when I went.
