Egg Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in a charming Austrian village, the Egg Museum is a delightful surprise dedicated entirely to the humble egg. It's a place where this everyday object is transformed into something truly extraordinary through art, science, and culture. You'll find yourself marveling at the sheer creativity on display, from exquisitely painted Ukrainian pysanky to intricate carvings you'd hardly believe were possible on such a fragile canvas. It’s a small but wonderfully focused museum that completely redefines your perspective.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is its stunning array of folk art eggs, particularly the vibrant wax-resist pysanky. Alongside these are delicate goose and ostrich eggs transformed into miniature worlds with fine filigree carving. You can also explore a fascinating section on the science and biology of eggs, complete with specimens from all sorts of birds.
