A museum featuring various installations and local history. If you're not careful you may end up taking a few hours to see everything that's exhibitioned because there's a lot to see. The architecture of the whole building is incredible as well! Worth a visit if you're interested in art, local history and various other types of art.

5 stars

Very nice temporary exhibition about old Roman town Brigantium.

5 stars

Mix of temporary, general-interest exhibitions and permanent installations focused on local history. Both the architecture and exhibit style is state of the art; the archaeological section has been made especially child-friendly and immersive. A "secret" panorama room on the top floor gives a great view of happenings on the promenade and across Lake Constance. Overall the experience is varied and enjoyable not only for the exbihits themselves. The Vorarlberg Museum is a much easier way to pass time on a wet afternoon than the Kunsthaus. The ground floor cafe is always very lively and in a great location for people-watching.
