Museum of the City of Villach

The Villach City Museum is housed in a historic country house and offers tours and exhibitions exploring regional history and culture. Founded in 1873, this museum is one of the oldest and largest in Austria. It is a historical museum specifically committed to the history, art and culture of the Villach region. Every year, there are exciting special exhibitions for visitors dedicated to specific historical topics. As part of a permanent exhibition, a small selection (stone monuments, bronze bell, etc.) from the extensive collections is on display. In 2017, Museum Villach was awarded the Quality Award for “outstanding museum work” by ICOM Österreich and Museumsbund Österreich.
