Museum
Stadtmuseum Bad Ischl
Also known as Hotel Austria Museum
The town museum occupies the former Hotel Austria on the Esplanade. The building suits the subject: this is where you can follow Bad Ischl’s development as a spa and a place to spend the summer, through the people who came and the people who hosted them.
The exhibition was redesigned for the museum’s reopening in 2024. It covers the imperial years, the arrival of the railway and the town’s later history. If the Kaiservilla shows you the emperor’s household, this museum gives you more of the town around it.
The Bad Ischl walk passes the building. Allow extra time if you want to go inside, and check the museum’s website for visitor information.
