A well laid out museum highlighting the culture and history of the Schwartzwald. It would be helpful, given the number of tourists visiting Triberg, to have more English explanation of the exhibits.
Schwarzwald is a beautiful place, and a museum in its name is definitely suitable. The museum was nice and very informative, however..everything was in German! The descriptions next to exhibits and all the information detailing the items on display was all in German! This obviously wasn't very tourist friendly, because it's basically there for people who speak German only. We were however given a leaflet in English which gave brief descriptions on the different rooms of the museum, but it still didn't allow us to enjoy and learn from the museum as much as we wanted to.
A very interesting museum about life in the Black Forest, with traditional costumes, crafts, clocks and musical instruments. There is also a working model of the Black Forest railway. The museum has a café if you need a break; there are quite a few stairs to climb.
Stopped at the Black Forest Museum, very entertaining, lots of musical devices and a surprisingly large clock exhibit. Well worth the time. Conveniently located accross the street from the Husach Waterfall. Good day trip.
the falls were nice but this Gem of a place over shadows them easily. This is a must do if your interested in the local culture and amazing local wood carvers If you go in spend the one Euro and play the huge music box/ organ/ automated band on the first floor . the sound it produces rivals todays electronic equipment
I learned a lot here about the history of the area, development of trade on the region, and was really impressed by how extensive the collection is--I expected a quick visit and we spent nearly an hour and had a great time. I really liked the organs (one plays if you put a euro in it), and the Fastnact costumes were great!
We visited on a drizzly day in September, but this meant that the crowds were not too big and we had a good look around. Very educational for culture and agriculture and explained a lot about European farm life through the ages. some crafts and live demonstrations but I guess not as many as in peak holiday times. Very good ticket office and reception/ restaurant/ souvenir shop facilities, discount parking with entry ticket. Wear sturdy shoes as there may be mud and puddles if wet and it has so much to see that you will need to allow for hours on your feet if time is not a priority. Only critisism is that there is little signage in English
The Black Forest Museum consists of a series of houses that are found in the region. You walk from house to house and back into time. The exhibits are interesting and well done. We could have used a bit more information in English in the brochure, but nevertheless the visitor gets a good understanding of local life and customs.
Cuckoo clocks of all shapes, sizes, ages and sounds, from the very earliest mechanisms using rock weights, to the more modern multiple mechanisms were just one of the attractions. The tour guide was passionate about sharing the wonders of the clocks, and also the various music machines in good working order, and very well displayed. This is well worth a visit.
Great imformative museum of the region. The music box section is great and you can pay 1 euro for them to play!
