Local Museum “Hoamet Tramin Museum”

The Local Museum in Termeno village opened its doors in 1989 in an old farmhouse. "Hoamet", by the way, is the local dialect word for "home". Through images and sounds, it vividly portrays life in the south of South Tyrol, particularly in Termeno. The permanent exhibition "Life on the Border" tells the story of life here, where North meets South. The exhibition is spread over three floors.

Part of it includes the recently opened permanent exhibition on Roman tomb finds excavated in Termeno's "Im Bad" area, which exhibits also the fossilized footprint of an Archosaurus found in the Rio Inferno valley, or Höllenbachtal, near Termeno. Two further key themes explored in the museum are the village carnival and viticulture. A highlight of the annual calendar is the traditional Egetmann Parade with its curious "Schnappviecher" figures.

Let's talk about wine. Termeno, in the south of South Tyrol, is where the grapes for exquisite, world-famous wines are grown, especially the Gewurztraminer. The development of wine production from 1960 to the present day is illustrated through a collection of agricultural equipment, complemented by Gewurztraminer tastings and special exhibitions.

How to get there: The museum is located on the Townhall Square. There's a bus stop nearby on Piazza Mindelheim square. Parking is available at the tourist office. If you'd like to combine your museum visit with a hike, the Gewurztraminer Trail above the village is a great option. During the GewurzTRAMINer Wine Day in spring, the museum often offers special themed guided tours.
