Angelika Kauffmann Museum

The Angelika Kauffmann Museum in Schwarzenberg is a typical 16th-century Bregenzerwald house, featuring modern exhibition spaces. Unseen from the outside, the 450-year-old so-called Kleber House contains a modern exhibition room in its former farm building. Here annually changing thematic exhibitions are staged, with original works by the famous painter Angelika Kauffmann (1741–1807). In the spring, the museum opens itself up to contemporary art with the exhibition series "salon angelika". The museum wing, planned by the architectural offices of Dietrich-Untertrifaller, was inaugurated on the 200th anniversary of her death, in 2007. In the spirit of the New Vorarlberg School of Architecture traditional and modern wood architecture have been harmonically combined, making the museum a mecca for all those Interested in architecture. A tour through the historical section of the museum offers comprehensive insights into the rural living conditions and everyday culture of the 19th century. A special exhibition explores the subject of the "Swabian children" ("Schwabenkinder").
