For a long time, knowledge about rural life was not written down, but only passed on orally. Today, much can be deduced from the houses and farms, from the tools and working methods. In exciting guided tours, visitors learn how scientists understand how to read them. The Austrian Open-Air Museum Stübing takes you on a journey back in time: to the original farms from all over Austria, grouped by province; to an old grocer's shop where you can still buy cracked almonds; to a school from around 1800, where the teacher still slept on the floor; to an armory with historic fire engines; to an old forge that is still in use; to the herbal teaching garden, where you can discover some almost forgotten herbs.

Walking through the valley, you can discover house and farm forms from Burgenland to Vorarlberg and learn how they were adapted to the diversity of the landscape or shaped by history, prosperity or threats.

The permanent exhibition provides information about life with nature all year round, about building, living and working. In the Tyrolean Bundwerkstadel, farming vehicles and tools from the Neolithic Age to the present day are on display. If you would like to explore the history of the individual farms beyond a walk, you are in good hands with an expert guided tour. For school and children's groups, the various school programs such as meal times, "Come and play!" and the museum rally are among the absolute highlights of the visit program.

Numerous events throughout the year and themed focuses offer active insights into the topics of rural life: old games (children's adventure day), customs and crafts (adventure day), the contemplative Advent (Tannengraß & Lebzeltstern). In addition to the numerous rest and recreation opportunities on the museum grounds, Stübing offers special children's adventure areas for younger visitors. The museum's own restaurant "Zum Göller" provides refreshments, where regional and typical delicacies can be enjoyed.
