The Natural History Museum invites visitors to explore the regional fauna and minerals up close.

Commemorating the local Jewish community and their wide-reaching contribution to the development of Vorarlberg and surrounding areas, the Jewish Museum in Hohenems is a regional museum with international flair, evocatively recalling the exemplary history of the Diaspora.

The former residence of the prince-bishops of Constance is particularly striking for its picturesque location on the steep slope high above the shores of Lake Constance. From the terrace there is a magnificent view of the panorama of the Alps - an almost Mediterranean flair can be felt here.

The Egg Museum was founded as a local history museum in 1904. It is the oldest valley museum in the state of Vorarlberg. In 1988 it was reopened after several years of storage of the inventory in the old elementary school. The collection focuses on the Bregenzerwald region.

In cooperation with the Nature Park School Lingenau and the association 60+, the municipality of Lingenau and the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park developed a concept for a "museum under the open sky".

This resulted in the Natur.Museum in Dörnelstraße (directly behind the church), Lingenau.

The baroque cathedral with its dominant double-tower façade is the magnificent landmark of the city of St.Gallen. Together with the Abbey District and the Abbey Library, it forms a unique historical ensemble.

High above Lake Constance rises "The Meersburg", the landmark of the region. The old Meersburg, the new Meersburg Castle and the excellently preserved town as well as the vineyards around the town make the visit a special experience.

The imposing neo-baroque church building from 1914 with double towers and a mighty dome dominates the townscape and is also called the "Cathedral of the Western Allgäu" because of its size.

The Vorarlberg World of Museums combines seven museums under one roof.

The St. Gallen Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site designation not only encompasses the world renowned Baroque hall in the abbey library and the imposing cathedral. It also includes the «miracles of our written heritage».
