Museums in Austria

"Immerse yourself in the world of traffic from yesteryear! Pictures from old films come back to life: dream of a romantic excursion for two in the Isetta ("Knutschkugel"), of the first bus excursion in a VW "Sambabus", rediscover Grandpa's first car. Find out which simple devices the fire brigade deployed decades ago, set a railway signal yourself - and play to your heart's content with our model railroad layout! Marvel at Fürst Khevenhüller's flying machine from 1913, which is powered solely by muscle power - an absolutely unique piece of aviation history - and dream of the good old tram.

Johann Puch’s attempt to create his own automobile engineering business met with great success. Today, nearly everybody recognises the Puch brand and logo. At the Johann Puch Museum visitors can appreciate everything bearing the Puch name, from vintage cars through to the new sport utility vehicle. Cars, motorbikes, mopeds and bicycles, but also original wooden models, cutaway models from past and present, together with a wealth of images combine to tell the “moving” story of the Puch brand.
