Folklore Museum Salzburg
The Folklore Museum in the Austrian capital Salzburg has been housed in Hellbrunn's monthly palace since 1924 , which was built in 1615 for Archbishop Markus Sittikus as a viewing palace high above the ornate princely palace garden.
The collection, founded by Karl Adrian in 1904 , provides an insight into the Salzburg folk culture with evidence of customs , popular piety , living culture and folk medicine . On display are, among other things, typical costumes for the Salzburg district , a Samson figure from Mauterndorf that came to the museum around 1900 together with her two dwarfs, as well as various Perchten .
The Folklore Museum is attached to the Salzburg Museum (formerly the Salzburg Museum Carolino Augusteum).
