State Museum of Lower Austria

The State Museum of Lower Austria is located on the federal state of Lower Austria in St. Pelten.

It was founded in 1902 by the Association for Cultural Studies in Lower Austria at the Caprarara-Geym ller Palace in Vienna. After the division of the province of Vienna and Lower Austria in 1922, he gained a seat in the Palais Mollara, where he remained until 1997.

In 2002, with the emergence of the new capital of the state, the State Museum of Lower Austria was transferred to St. Pjölten, the local cultural district. It was the first museum of architect Hans Hollein in Austria. The museum’s contemporary multimedia experience brings together the fields of nature, art and history. In 2009, a national holiday dedicated to regional studies was opened with the exhibition “Treasures of the Empire, the Fate of the Empire, Lower Austria”.
