- Welterbemuseum Hallstatt
Welterbemuseum Hallstatt in Hallstatt, Upper Austria, has an unrivaled collection of relics from local salt mines and Iron Age graves. These finds have cemented Hallstatt’s position as the type site for the important Hallstatt civilisation. The museum is near to the Hallstättersee, which is located beneath the salt mines on the slope. UNESCO has listed the museum, salt mines, and Dachstein Ice Cave as World Heritage Sites.
The museum has been housed in the old Hallstatt parsonage since 2002. In addition, numerous artefacts previously shown at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna have been reintegrated into the museum’s prior collections.
This museum displays historical relics from Hallstatt, including exhibits from salt mine excavations and extraordinary findings from the Hallstatt high valley burial cemetery.
