Originating from the need to create teaching aids for realistic and practical lessons, a lively collecting activity began in the 1950s, which led to the secondary school in Taufkirchen an der Pram being **the only school in Austria** to have its own museum with **natural history**, **folklore** and **cultural history** collections. As a lively and attractive component of the Upper Austrian museum landscape, the museum offers its visitors a cross-section of the geological structure, the **natural** and **natural history** features and the way of life of the people in the border region between the **Inn, Danube and Pram** rivers based on selected themes under the motto ‘**Taufkirchen an der Pram - Habitat Pramtal**’. Selected **cultural-historical** and **folkloristic** themes, such as the once flourishing dairy industry, the first oil discoveries in Austria and outstanding objects of popular piety can be admired, as can the works of prominent local artists, above all **Margret Bilger** and **Alfred Kubin**, which can be marvelled at in the museum's picture gallery. A unique **collection of instruments** attracts music-loving visitors to Taufkirchen. A **large library** and a **sheet music archive** are available to a scientifically interested public. However, the ‘**Museum in School**’ not only aims to promote visualisation, but also poses contemporary and present-day questions that arise from the exploration of the museum's themes. ‘**Learn and grasp, participate and reflect**’ is at the centre of the museum experience. **Worth seeing:**- Radio exhibition - *From the cylinder to the stereo system* - Habitat and natural area Pramtal *(a walk-in diorama)* - The history of lighting - Petroleum the black gold - Traces in the Pramtal - Beekeeping & honeybees - History of photography [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Museum in the school & radio museum** Schulstraße 3 4775 Taufkirchen an der Pram mobile [ +43 664 4358046 ](tel:+436644358046) E-Mail [museum.schule@gmx.at](#mailto) Web [www.museum-in-der-schule.at/](http://www.museum-in-der-schule.at/ "New window") http://www.museum-in-der-schule.at/ --- **Contact person** Mr Adolf Spitzenberger Museum in der Schule & Radiomuseum Schulstraße 3 4775 Taufkirchen an der Pram mobile [ +43 664 4358046 ](tel:+436644358046) E-Mail [museum.schule@gmx.at](#mailto) Web [www.museum-in-der-schule.at](http://www.museum-in-der-schule.at "New window") --- **We speak the following languages** German [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ Groups can visit the museum outside these opening hours by prior arrangement.
