Schloss Ambras Innsbruck - Innsbruck

Schloss Ambras Innsbruck is considered the first museum in the world and is one of the most beautiful and significant attractions in Austria, making it a top excursion destination in Tyrol.

In the Footsteps of the Past: The origins of the Renaissance castle can be traced back to a particularly beautiful love story. The daughter of an Augsburg merchant, Philippine Welser, was not of noble descent for the Habsburg prince Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595). Nevertheless, he sought her hand and gifted her Schloss Ambras as a token of love.
An Extraordinary Collection: In a specially constructed museum building, Ferdinand II also displayed his numerous and partly exotic treasures made of crystal, silver, gold, or glass, as well as armors, weapons, and paintings. The first museum in the world – a true must-see both then and now!

In addition to the famous art and wonder chamber, visitors can also tour the impressive armor rooms and the unique Spanish Hall. During the summer months, the original preserved bath of Philippine Welser, the Strasser glass collection, the Habsburg portrait gallery, and special exhibitions can also be admired.
