There are 103 objects on the museum grounds, including dwellings, stable buildings, mills, alpine huts and much more. They show the house landscapes of the past 6 centuries from all over Austria and South Tyrol. The oldest building is a grain box, the "treasure box" of the farmers, and dates back to 1452.
