Unseen from the outside, the 450-year-old so-called Kleber House contains a modern exhibition room in its former farm building. Here annually changing thematic exhibitions are staged, with original works by the famous painter Angelika Kauffmann (1741-1807). This museum wing, planned by the architectural offices of Dietrich-Untertrifaller, was inaugurated on the 200th anniversary of her death, in 2007. In the spirit of the New Vorarlberg School of Architecture traditional and modern wood architecture have been harmonically combined, making the museum a mecca for all those
Interested in architecture.
The Local Heritage Museum, founded in 1913, is devoted to rural farming life in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Since 1928 it has also been located in the Kleber House. On the ground level there is a veranda (Schopf), kitchen, living rooms and (master) bedroom, including exhibits of traditional costumes and earthenware. On the next floor are the children’s bedrooms, with a presentation of dairy utensils and religious craftworks; on the top floor old weapons, music instruments, tableware and forged-iron grave crosses are displayed.
