10 Museums in Merano That You Shouldn't Miss

July 30, 2021 Misti Hsu

Just a few miles south of the Austrian border, Merano (also called Meran) is an old spa town. About half the residents here speak German, the other half Italian. Take a dip in one of the thermal baths, or try Merano’s famous “grape cure” by imbibing - what else? - lots of grapes. The South Tyrol Museum of Tourism is located in Trauttmansdorff Castle, the former holiday pad of Austria’s Empress Elisabeth. Merano 2000, a ski resort that’s actually in the village of Hafling, is linked by cable car.

Touriseum

This attraction is linked to the gardens. It is very nicely made, and certainly worth a visit. Various aspects of the development of tourism in the area are presented in a chronological and pleasant way. The whole thing is in a superb castle. Excellent

Palais Mamming Museum

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy

Just behind the main Cathedral and Cappella di Santa Barbara in Merano you can find Palazzo Mamming, hosting the Municipal Museum collections. The exhibition provides an overview of Merano's historical development, from pre-history to the current days. It's one of the best local museums I saw so far, truly centered on how local life evolved, and providing detailed explanations of what's on display. In addition to the main artifacts related to city life evolution, there are other collections on disply worth mentioning: - a collection of unusual and exotic artifacts donated to the museum, such as one of the five known death masks of Napoleon, an Egyptian mummy, a collection of Sudanese weapons and others; - a display of objects from the museum storage, not yet fitted in the collections on display, including statues, industrial products, etc.

Jewish Museum and Synagogue

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy

This is the only Synagogue in South Tyrol, and is very interesting. I was in Merano in October 2020 and I could visit it. Downstairs from the the Synagogue you can find a small and very, very interesting museum dedicated to the Jewish presence in South Tyrol. A lot of original documents / pictures / newspaper articles are on display, especially for the period of the nazi/fascist prosecution. There are very good explanations provided in Italian, German and English. No photos are allowed, either in the Synagogue or in the museum, but the staff are very helpful and freindly, and gladly answer questions.
