The Mehlerhaus was built in the 17th century and has been resorted by the District of Tux with the assistance of the local population to create a cultural centre and a small museum. The farm was lived in until 1992 and contains beautiful old wooden Stuben and the kitchen that once formed the central point of peasant life.

Description

Summit Meeting of the Zillertal Giants in the Mehlerhaus Tux

The new special exhibition until Easter 2023, called GiZiGi for short, transforms the Mehlerhaus into a fascinating house of mountains. In the high mountain nature park Zillertal Alps, 72 three-thousand-meter peaks rise into the sky. The Schwendau artist Josef Wartelsteiner has dedicated himself for many years to the Zillertal mountains, which he sets in scene with his spatula technique. The paintings are complemented by handmade mini-reliefs of the respective peaks, information about the mountains, their names and the natural treasures that surround them, as well as a mountain cinema in which Prof. Heinz-Dieter Pohl reveals the secrets to the mountain names and Josef Wartelsteiner reveals a glimpse behind the scenes of his painting.

Furthermore:
Permanent exhibition "Magnesitwerk Tux 1925 - 1976".
Old equipment from agriculture, trade and household
