The town museum, known for its diversity and charm, is housed in the Kammerhof, a jewel of a building dating back to the 14th century. With around 1,000 square meters of exhibition space, it is primarily dedicated to the history and rich folk culture of the Ausseerland.
Magnificent fossils tell the story of the rocks and mountains of Ausseerland, which even Neanderthals once roamed in search of the cave bear. The great treasure of Ausseerland, salt, determined the fortunes of the region for eight centuries and allowed customs, folk music and a special type of building to flourish.
Archduke Johann and the aristocratic summer visitors contributed to the preservation of this living heritage through their appreciation of traditional costume and the rich folk culture. The Aussee Museum in the Kammerhof, a medieval building jewel in the center of Bad Aussee, is dedicated to all of this and is known for its diversity and charm.
