Description
The Traiskirchen Museum has been housed in the buildings of the former Möllersdorf worsted spinning mill since 1988. 4,000 m² of exhibition space give visitors a taste of the flair of the industrial age and a chance to discover many interesting things from everyday life in times gone by.
The "museum for the whole family" has a large number of collections:
- in the toy collection, everything revolves and moves around Matador, the popular wooden construction set, in the fire department museum, old equipment and vehicles can be marveled at
- the Semperit Museum sheds light on an important period in the city's own history. Objects from industry, viticulture, education, archaeology and nature are also on display here. Special collections of the museum are shown in the changing special exhibitions
Seal of approval for Museum Traiskirchen
The Austrian Museum Seal of Approval is the highest award for high-quality work that Austria's museum landscape has to offer. A total of 299 museums in the country can boast this accolade. In 2021, the Museum Traiskirchen was once again awarded the Austrian Museum Seal of Quality. Director Karin Weber-Rektorik and local councillor Robert Eichinger were in Graz at the beginning of October 2021 to receive the award.
Our museum can therefore carry the badge for another five years until the International Council of Museums (ICOM) will once again apply its strict inspection criteria. The award is public proof that the museum takes responsibility for preserving its cultural heritage and, above all, for making the museum collection accessible to the general public in a scientifically sound manner. The Museum Traiskirchen has proudly held the award since 2002
