Großes Walsertal Museum
Life in extreme Conditions
Interesting things from Großes Walsertal can be admired at the Museum Großes Walsertal.
The imposing semi-detached house (formerly a three-part house) is probably one of the oldest houses in Sonntag. The building is 500 years old and is therefore itself a piece of history. In the past it has been a residential house, inn, dairy and bakery.
Since 1981 the house serves as a museum. The current exhibition comprises 15 rooms and a stable building, where objects from the life and history of the population of Großes Walsertal are shown. In addition, selected topics will be presented in special exhibitions.

Special exhibition 'Dialogue with origin: 9 artists and cultural workers in their relationship to the Großes Walsertal'
For hundreds of years, the people of the Großes Walsertal have wrested their lives, their culture and their work from the unique nature and landscape of this valley. Over generations, people have been consciously and unconsciously moulded by their origins. The question of one's own identity and ancestry is important here, as the "unconscious" of experiences over generations becomes conscious in the course of life.
The exhibition presents works by nine artists of different kinds who deal with their origins or their relationship to the Großes Walsertal.
Opening of the special exhibition and first Museum Day on Friday, 10/05/2024 from 6:00 p.m. in the museum.
