meaning of museums

As Governor Anton Mattle emphasizes, museums are far more than just places in the exhibition; You have an essential educational mission. The Tyrolean Museum Prize is particularly characterized by projects that offer innovative and educational content that address the audience and work into society.

The carriage and local museum association has emerged through a carriage and sled museum in Obertilliach in the past two decades. In addition, a former cinema in Sillian has been renovated in the past three years. These efforts show that volunteer work makes a significant contribution to the cultural landscape of Tyrol.

"" I especially congratulate the club chairman Gernot Vinatzer and all committed helpers who have worked tirelessly to breathe new life into the old cinema. Your commitment deserves greatest recognition, "continued Mattle. The support by the community and the steady support from the club members help to ensure that such projects can be successfully implemented. The awards are not only an appreciation of past services, but also an incentive for the future to bring creative and innovative spirit into museum work.
