Ambras Castle Innsbruck

Very beautifully preserved castle with a great and well-kept park.
The two peacocks that walk through the park are recommended.
The cultural and historical significance of Ambras Castle is undoubtedly that Archduke Ferdinand II brought together his already widely famous collection of armor, weapons, portraits and natural objects, the latest scientific instruments, musical instruments and art objects as well as a library here.Ferdinand had the Ambras Lower Castle built specifically for this purpose as a separate building known as a "Musaeum". This makes Ambras Castle Innsbruck the first museum in the world. Here the building itself has become an exhibit and only here can the historically earliest systematic collection and presentation concept still be experienced in its original location.Contact:
