When it's cold and gray outside or when you just don't feel like snow or skiing, museums are a good way to spend a winter's day in Tyrol. The most famous Tyrolean museums are in Innsbruck, but there are also interesting museums elsewhere in Tyrol. Here is a list of links to the most important museums in Tyrol.
Tyrolean state museums: On this page you will find great museums that are managed by the Tyrolean state. These include the well-known Tirol Panorama (with the 360° giant panoramic painting of the Battle of Bergisel), the Ferdinandeum, where contemporary exhibitions also take place from time to time, and the Zeughaus with archaeological and historical collections. www.tiroler-landesmuseen.at
