Temporary exhibition
The history of hunting in Tyrol
08th April 2020 - 10th January 2021
The hunting scenes which can be seen in the frescos of Runkelstein Castle showing hunts for bear, wild boar, stag, ibex and chamois, as well as hunting scenes in other picturesque castles, mansions and historic farmhouses in the Tyrol, offer a valuable insight into the history of hunting. From these works of art, we can learn a lot about the types of hunting and the hunting techniques used in the past. The exhibition explores the history of hunting from prehistory until the modern period.

MAXIMILIAN I
and his illustrated
Runkelstein Castle
In 1501, Emperor Maximilian I visited Runkelstein Castle and saw the splendid frescoes painted around 1400 on behalf of the bourgeois Vintler family: the adventures of knights and heroes, and especially the characters of the triads along the Summer House. The images of Runkelstein Castle had a profound impact on the Emperor and his culture of remembrance, the images becoming models for literary and figurative works and subsequently inspiring the famous cenotaph of Innsbruck, watched over by those heroes and ancestors that he had also met in the Illustrated Runkelstein Castle.
