  2. Bergbaumuseum

    The Bergbaumuseum is a pleasant option for a rainy day. Exhibits including tools and drilling equipment are housed in tunnels that lead from the grounds of the botanical gardens deep into the hill. The locals took shelter here from Allied bombing during WWII.

  3. Landesmuseum Rudolfinum

    If you've ever wondered what the fossilised head of an ice-age woolly rhinoceros looked like, a visit to Landesmuseum Rudolfinum will quell your idle speculation. The museum's Lindwurmschädel (dragon skull) was found in the 14th century and it even became the model for the head of Klagenfurt's central fountain. This museum also has lots of Celtic armour and jewellery, and the multimedia 'Glocknerrama' - an acoustic and visual simulation that leads you to the peak of Austria's highest mountain.

  4. Minimundus

    Down near the Wörthersee, Minimundus has around 140 replicas of some of the world's architectural icons, downsized to a scale of 1:25. By lying on the ground with a camera, you can later impress your friends at parties with great snaps of the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe. Building materials are true to the original. The Sydney Opera House, Tower of London, Statue of Liberty and Schloss Neuschwanstein are also here.
