The Handarbeitsmuseum in Traunkirchen documents the needlework and textile crafts of the Salzkammergut lake district, connected to the Benedictine convent that occupied the village from the 11th century until 1785. Small museum; seasonal opening; check locally. In Traunkirchen on the Traunsee, accessible by bus from Gmunden or Bad Ischl. The main stop in the village is the pilgrimage church with its celebrated Baroque Fishermen’s Pulpit; the museum is a cultural addition to that visit.
