Museum Kitzbühel

The Kitzbühel Museum – Alfons Walde Collection offers a unique insight into the history and culture of the town of Kitzbühel and the surrounding region. Carefully-selected exhibits, installations in film and sound illustrate local history covering the time from bronze-age mining around 1000 BC, to Kitzbühel’s development as a town and winter-sports centre with Toni Sailer and the legendary Kitzbühel Dream Team of the 1950s. The museum’s permanent exhibition focuses on Alfons Walde. Works by the Kitzbühel artist, including 60 paintings and over 100 drawings, photographs and graphic designs are on show in an area comprising 250²m. With pictures such as 'Alpine Huts in the Snow' and 'The Ascent', Alfons Walde played a central role in developing Tirol's image as a snow-covered, mountainous region ideal for winter sports. Similarly well-known are Walde's impressive nude studies and his early work, which was clearly influenced by the art of the Vienna Sezession, Gustav Klimt and, anove all, Egon Schiele.
