Museum La Truaisch, Sedrun
About This Museum
Tucked away in the alpine village of Sedrun, in the canton of Graubünden, Museum La Truaisch feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping directly into the past. You'll find yourself wandering through rooms that breathe with history, from a meticulously recreated 19th-century schoolroom, its wooden desks etched with generations of students, to a traditional 'Culìn' kitchen where the soot from ancient cooking fires still seems to linger. The museum masterfully weaves together the spiritual and practical lives of the local Surselva people, connecting their deep-rooted Catholic faith with the rugged demands of mountain agriculture. It’s an intimate and surprisingly moving portrait of a community shaped by its breathtaking, yet demanding, environment.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is the stunning array of Baroque sacred art from local churches, alongside a fascinating exhibit on local geology featuring glittering crystals pulled from the surrounding mountains. Don't miss the 'Stiva,' a classic Grisons living room with its characteristic stove and carved furniture, or the displays dedicated to traditional crafts like weaving and woodworking.
Visitor Information
Given its small and personal nature, it's wise to check opening times in advance as they can be seasonal. A visit here is a perfect rainy-day activity or a captivating cultural pause during a hike through the stunning Tujetsch valley.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a characterful, traditional stone-and-wood building that once served as the village priest's house, its rustic exterior and creaky floorboards are as much a part of the exhibit as anything inside.
