Rollettmuseum Baden
About Rollettmuseum Baden
According to its own information, the Rollettmuseum in Baden is the oldest museum in Lower Austria. On 350 square metres it shows the history of the town – from the Neolithic through the Romans and the age of castles to the 20th century.
What there is to see
One focus is the Biedermeier period, when the Emperor spent the summer holidays in Baden with his family and politicians and artists alike gathered here. The upper middle class also discovered the town at that time; the villas and summer residences from this period still shape the townscape today. Baden's wine culture and the world of the baths take up a lot of space.
The Rollett collection
The core of the collection goes back to Anton Franz Rollett (1778–1841), physician, writer, naturalist and art lover. The museum owes its "exotic" holdings to his idea of a universal museum: the Egyptian department, Franz Joseph Gall's skull collection and an ethnological collection. Together they form a separate exhibition complex.
The building itself was once the town hall of the then independent municipality of Weikersdorf.
