Grassmayr Bell Museum

Also known as Grassmayr Glockenmuseum

A bell foundry and museum in Innsbruck, operated by the Grassmayr family for over 400 years and 14 generations. The museum documents the craft of bell casting from bronze, with a sound room where visitors hear the tones and resonances of different bells. The foundry is still active.

The Grassmayr bell foundry and museum at Leopoldstrasse 53 in Innsbruck has been operated by the same family for over 14 generations since 1599. The museum documents the craft of bronze bell casting alongside the still-active foundry. The sound room where individual bells are rung for comparison is the experiential highlight. Mon-Fri 9:00-18:00, Sat mornings, budget admission. 15-minute walk from the Altstadt. One of Innsbruck’s genuinely distinctive visits, particularly for anyone interested in craft traditions or acoustics.
