A 20-kilometer drive east of Innsbruck is Swarovski Crystal Worlds, an excellent museum and art gallery designed to showcase the world-famous company founded by Daniel Swarovski in 1895.

 Its 14 chambers display impressive artworks in crystal, and highlights include the superb Crystal Dome, the Crystal Theatre, and the enchanting Crystal Forest installations, all displaying unique pieces made by contemporary artists from around the world.

 The centerpiece of the outdoor features is the fascinating Giant, a large landscaped waterfall in the shape of a human head that spews water from its mouth.
