The South Tyrolean ethnographic museum is an open - air museum whose two dozen original buildings vividly show visitors how people used to live here. The Mair am Hof House is the heart of the museum. Built between 1690 and 1700 by the barons von Sternbach, it replaced one of the old Maierhofs, a farm belonging to the Görz counts. |

|
The manor house contains household equipment which bears
witness to folk art and religion. A wide variety of tools and other items
reflect the farmer's
way of life. The highlight of the museum is no doubt the old buildings in
the open - air exhibition grounds. They are complete with kitchens, parlours,
bedrooms, barns, and mills. |

|
The visitor experiences more than just visual impressions here; the sounds of the mill wheel creaking and water splashing can be heard, and the fragrance of fenced - in farm gardens appeals to the sense of smell. |
