Gallery & special exhibitions
In 2016, to mark the museum’s 30th anniversary, a gallery was established in the neighbouring building as a place to meet and to host special exhibitions.
During the winter months, when the main building is closed, these special exhibitions explore changing aspects of Puchberg’s local history.
The gallery opened in June 2016 with an exhibition in memory of Dr Karl Leitner, presenting part of the collections that his wife had donated to the museum.

Work on the archive began in 2012. Its aim is to systematically catalogue the museum’s collections that are not on display, making them accessible to interested visitors and preparing them for further scholarly research.
Archive holdings are generally accessible to the public after the statutory protection period of 30 years, subject to personal privacy and data protection requirements.
