The Passiria Museum
The Passiria Museum is located at the Sandhof in St. Leonhard in the Passiria Valley, the home area of the freedom-fighter Andreas Hofer (1767-1810). Andreas Hofer and the Tyrolean Insurrection of 1809 are the central theme of an animated film and many original exhibits in the former stall of the Commerce Bank.
In the rooms located above it, there's a comprehensive collection on the local ethnology of the Passiria Valley (including exhibits of the local traditional dress, furniture, art, folk art, religious traditions, folk medicine, customs, rural lifestyles, transportation, craftsmen, and prominent personalities.)
A "Listening Room" offers visitors the opportunity to listen to music, legends, popular stories, and the valley's literature. " The open-air area includes numerous buildings dating back to the 16th to 19th Centuries. A typical group of farm buildings, as well as the "Heart of Jesus" Chapel (1899) and the Holy Grave Church (1691) round up the museum experience. In the future, the French Cemetery, the Jaufen Fortress, and the Alpine Meadow Museum in Pfistrad will be administered as branch sites of the museum.
Attractions: There's a multi-media show about Andreas Hofer, a "Listening Room" with music, legends, and stories, an open-air museum with a group of farm buildings, regular guided tours, and culture walks to the museum's branch sites.
Every Wednesday, a so-called "Living Museum Day" alternates with baking bread and milling grain, shearing sheep, Children's Day, etc.
