TOWER MUSEUM IN OETZ

TOWER MUSEUM IN OETZ What offers the tower museum? If you enter this museum you'll be surprised at the architectural variety, ranging from the Romanesque period to today. Different kinds of housing are presented, ranging from poor medieval housing conditions to spacious, light-flooded rooms of the early modern age. The few pieces of furniture are a mixture of rural and noble pieces, as it was the custom in the beautiful houses of Oetz.

The museum mostly focuses on paintings! The early paintings are dedicated to religious themes. The museum's highlights are Alpine landscape paintings, which first turned up some 200 years ago. Many known artists were witnesses of the discovery of the Ötztal Alps and their paintings are valuable documents. In the villages at the entrance of the Ötztal valley a strong and witty folk art movement was present.

Photography is also presented from time to time. Photos are not only pieces of art, but also topographical evidence. Personalities that grew up in the Ötztal valley and made a career away from their home are also presented; most famous: the sculptor Matthias Bernhard Braun! Touring exhibitions enrich the program. It is taken great care to represent local characteristics of art that do not get their share in big institutions.
