THE Wood Museum

St. Georgen am Kreischberg

Since 1988, the Wood Museum has been located in the heart of the Murau wood district in St. Ruprecht ob Murau. On more than 10,000 m² of indoor and outdoor space, there is a lot to learn about the fascinating raw material wood. Here, one discovers many interesting facts. What was the "Brocknlotter" used for, or what purpose did part of the Christmas tree serve in the kitchen? What wood do carpenters or coopers prefer, how does the balsam poplar smell, how does larch pitch soothe coughs, what effects does the forest have on the climate and vice versa?...

Every year, there are changing special exhibitions, keeping the museum constantly NEW and interesting.

The exhibition 2026:

  • "WOOD PUZZLE" In this year's special exhibition in the main building, the focus is on presenting a playful approach to the world of wood joints, which require both craftsmanship and technical understanding. What types of joints exist that consist solely of wood? How versatile can wood actually be? Fun and games are of course essential when solving the tricky wood joints.
  • At the WoodBauHaus, we will showcase the hunting exhibition for another year. The theme of hunting in synergy with agriculture, forestry, and tourism will be presented in a vivid and engaging manner.

The wood museum is a destination for any weather; you can spend the whole day in the museum's indoor and outdoor areas, whether on guided tours or enjoying social activities such as bowling, pouncing, stilt walking; in creative workshops - making nice souvenirs and useful items out of wood, or simply wandering through the arboretum, where visitors can expect numerous different tree and shrub species, many wild herbs, a barefoot path, and a shelter. Families will particularly enjoy the lovingly designed wooden water playground.

Audio guides are available in German, English, Hungarian, and Italian.
A charging station for e-bikes and e-cars is available.
