Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum (Tiroler Landesmuseum)

The Basics

Most visitors choose to explore the Ferdinandeum independently, purchasing single tickets at the door or combination tickets that grant entrance to all five Tyrolean State Museums. Exhibitions at the Ferdinandeum cover over 30,000 years of history and art, from the Stone Age to present day Tyrol. Highlights include a collection of Biedermeier furniture; artworks by Austrian artists Egon Schiele, Albin Egger-Lienz, and Gustav Klimt; a collection of traditional musical instruments; and a number of works by Dutch artists Brueghel and Rembrandt.
