Egg Museum

The Egg Museum is a local history museum in Egg in the Bregenz Forest in Vorarlberg .

history

The museum was founded in 1904 and is therefore the oldest valley museum in the state of Vorarlberg. Originally, its permanent exhibition was predominantly shaped by the rural world of the Bregenzerwald - with exemplary examples of forest costumes, rural living and working, customs and popular piety. The demands on the museum changed, however, and so from the 1990s onwards, then director Anton Pfeifer tried to arouse new interest in the museum with special exhibitions. Andreas Hammerer has been solely responsible for running the Egg Museum since 2007.

building

The museum is located in Egg's former school and community center, which was built in 1899. The builder Fidel Kröner from Feldkirch received the order to build it in 1899 . The construction plans by civil engineer Anton Gamperle from Feldkirch have been preserved in excellent condition. The foundation excavation and the erection of the walls were carried out by the Egger building contractor Giovanni Bertolini . The building is also used by the Bregenzerwald Archive , a library and a music school.
