Picnic at the Austrian Open-Air Museum

“Museum Picnic: Life in Earlier Times” takes place on several dates in the historical and extensive grounds of the Austrian Open-Air Museum Stübing. This special event invites you to combine everyday historical knowledge with enjoyable relaxation in the midst of nature.

Participants embark on a journey through rural living environments and artisanal traditions that come to life here in the museum valley over centuries. An expert guided tour showcases historical buildings, tools, and workshops that illustrate how people worked, lived, and utilized their surroundings in earlier times.

After the tour, there is an opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of the open-air museum and taste a typical farmer's snack during a picnic in the greenery, just as it was once customary. The picnic distribution with regional delicacies is part of the offer, which includes not only the admission fee but also a lovingly filled picnic basket. The event targets everyone who wants to not just hear history but feel and taste it, as well as those seeking a day trip destination in the nature of Styria while learning more about traditional lifestyles.

Registration is required at Tel. +43 3124 53700 or freilichtmuseum@museum-joanneum.at; meeting point is at 10:00 AM at the entrance/cash desk of the museum. Cost: € 43.50 per person

This mix of historical context, landscape experience, and culinary delights makes the museum picnic a relaxing and educational experience. The offer is part of the diverse autumn program at the Austrian Open-Air Museum, which is also part of the Graz Region, where history, culture, and nature are connected in a lively way.
