On the northern side of the Kornmarktplatz in Bregenz's Lower Town, the Vorarlberg Museum was founded in 1857 to preserve the state's rich cultural heritage.
Highlights of its many displays include the collections of historical, cultural, and artistic interest ranging from prehistoric times to the present day, including ancient stone memorials and archaeological finds from the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, together with Roman finds from the 1st to 4th centuries.
Other displays are devoted to local culture from the Gothic and Renaissance periods, including musical instruments, costumes, crafts, and weapons.
