The Nativity Museum aims to amaze everyone, which has been a major concern since its planning stages. That's why we have emphasized accessibility. Through the spiral ramp inside the building, all areas of the museum are easily accessible for people with mobility impairments, wheelchairs, or strollers. The restrooms in the museum are fully accessible.
Parking is available directly in front of the museum and the souvenir shop.
Bus passengers can disembark right in front of the museum.
The mask exhibition in the annex is accessible via a short staircase.
Discover the fascinating world of Tyrolean Krampus masks in our exhibition. Each mask is carefully carved and painted by experienced artists using traditional techniques and local wood from the Ahrntal forests. These masks not only reflect the rich cultural history of Tyrol but also embody deeply rooted Christmas traditions and local craftsmanship.
The artist's studio, where Lukas Troi, a prominent sculptor from St. Johann, has been working since 2003, serves multiple purposes. Visitors can watch the artist at work. Paintings, reliefs, and figures are restored, and custom works are designed and created; it also functions as an exhibition space.
Our souvenir shop spans 140 square meters and offers a wide selection of unique and special products that reflect the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the region. Discover handmade nativity figures, traditional wood carvings, pine products, books, and much more! We are happy to accommodate individual requests and create custom-made gifts.
