A house of contemporary engagement with the past, present and future of our society.

Steyr was at the heart of Austria's iron industry for centuries and the legacy of this thriving trade is on display at the Museum. Exhibits include folk art collections, a nail forge, the Steinparz Bird Collection and weapons from the production of industrialist Josef Werndl.
In 2021, the Innerberger Stadel will be part of the Upper Austrian provincial exhibition ARBEIT WOHLSTAND MACHT.
