Vienna Woods Museum Eichgraben
The Wienerwaldmuseum Eichgraben is a local museum in Eichgraben , Lower Austria .
history
Pastor Gerhard Anderle began collecting exhibits in the mid-1980s and kept them in the rectory and in the tower of the Eichgraben parish church. Soon there were comrades-in-arms and premises, paving the way for the idea of running a museum in the late 1980s. At the official opening on May 1, 1991, over 700 objects were presented, which from then on could be viewed every Sunday morning.
In 1999 the museum moved to the Fuhrwerkerhaus , so that the increased collection could now be presented in 6 rooms. In addition, various handicrafts were shown in the adjacent barn and on the open-air site there is a reconstructed Roman-era barrow, a coal pile and a shed with tools and equipment.
Two special exhibitions take place annually, which are accompanied by other cultural events. Since the beginning there has been close contact with an official partnership with the Eichgraben cultural association in Zittau in the German state of Saxony .
