The Tyrolean Folk Art Museum (Tiroler Volkskunstmuseum) is one of Europe's finest museums of regional culture, located next to the Court Church. It presents a rich collection of everyday objects from Tyrolean history: intricately painted furniture, traditional costumes (Trachten), hand-carved nativity scenes, and tools used in farming and crafts. The museum's highlight is the series of period rooms, recreating historic interiors from farmhouses and bourgeois homes. Visitors can see how people lived, worked, and celebrated across the centuries. The exhibits are well-labeled in German and English, and the layout is easy to navigate. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions on folk art and contemporary Alpine culture.
