Heimatmuseum Davos

The Heimatmuseum Davos in Davos, Switzerland, presents a living picture of the history, former everyday life, customs and crafts of Davos. Its rich collection of objects and documents is displayed in the Grosses Jenatschhaus, a 16th-century patrician house. The museum traces the development of the former farming village of Davos into today's tourism and conference destination, with a focus on the culture of the Walser people. Around the museum are grouped an old remise, a Walser granary and a mill that still grinds grain.

Children and young people up to 16 years enter free. The museum offers school class offers for all age levels, including level-specific and theme-specific tours and project days. Children can also bake snake breads free of charge at the wood-fired oven baking days.
