Alte Volksschule, Bergbau- und Hüttenmuseum

Across 400 square metres, this museum in Brixlegg traces the history of mining and smelting in Tyrol. Prehistoric and early finds, some over 6,000 years old, point to an ancient mining settlement nearby, with the Mariahilfbergl finds as a focus. You also see illustrations from the 1556 Schwaz Mining Book, miners' lamps, picks and chisels, ladders and ore carriers.
