The Volkskundliche Sammlung Karl Piaty is housed in a traditional Ybbstal mountain peasant house dating from around 1614. The modest, homely building contains a collection of objects associated with local rural culture such as implements, utensils, clothing and furniture. A number of rooms are set out as they would have been in past times. Typical of this is the bedroom which contains a handsome double bed, a chest of drawers which doubles as a crib, an altar and all the normal living paraphernalia such as lamps and washing equipment. The rooms boast simple but charming plaster ceilings.
