Museum of Everyday Culture

What is everyday culture? It's the customs, habits, and objects that shape our daily lives. And that's precisely what the Museum of Everyday Culture (Museum für Alltagskultur) in Egna on the Wine Road explores. Fittingly, it's located beneath the arches, in one of the last remaining original arcade buildings of Egna village. These picturesque arcades with their grand houses were built between 1300 and 1600, while Egna itself dates back to the late 12th century.

Across two floors and an attic space, furniture, accessories, and toys offer glimpses into bourgeois life in the 19th and 20th centuries. The core of the collection was established by Anna Grandi Müller, who gathered the exhibits over decades from attics and flea markets.

The result is a museum that feels as if its rooms are still lived in. Stepping inside is like entering a bygone era. Discover a needlework room, a dressing room, a schoolroom, a doll's room, a smoke kitchen, and a sacred space, all within the Museum of Everyday Culture. It is run by volunteers.

How to get there: Located in the pedestrian zone under the arcades, the museum is easily reached on foot. Parking is available just outside the pedestrian area. You can also reach the museum by public transport, for example, by taking the number 120 bus route (Bolzano-Egna).
