Schloss Ambras Innsbruck - Innsbruck

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

In the footsteps of the past: The creation of the Renaissance castle is rooted in a particularly beautiful love story. The Augsburg merchant's daughter Philippine Welser was not of noble birth for the Habsburg archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595). Nevertheless, he asked for her hand and gifted her Schloss Ambras as a token of love.
An extraordinary collection: In a specially constructed museum building, Ferdinand II also housed his numerous and partly exotic treasures made of crystal, silver, gold, or glass, as well as armor, weapons, and paintings. The first museum in the world – a true must-see then and now!

Visitors can also explore the famous art and wonder chamber, the impressive armory, and the unique Spanish Hall. During the summer months, the well-preserved bath of Philippine Welser, the Strasser glass collection, the Habsburg portrait gallery, and the special exhibition can also be admired.
