This fascinating little museum on Ludwigstrasse was started in 1895 and is housed in a 17th-century former merchant's home.
Among its collection are local archaeological finds (Garmisch-Partenkirchen lay alongside an ancient trade route) and artifacts, religious objects, carnival masks, and folk art, as well as antique furnishings.
There are some excellent examples of bauernmalerei, the traditional folk art painting on furniture and other household objects.
