The exhibition in the Drachenloch Museum focuses on the finds from the Drachenloch (including Palaeolithic cave bear bones) and documents from the excavation period 1917-1923. The talented draughtsman Toni Nigg (1908-2000) was present during the excavations and lovingly designed the museum into a real gem. He also integrated an overview of the local geology. The small but fine local museum also houses a collection of minerals, Roman coins from the 3rd century AD and tools from the old cooperage trade. Since July 2006, the museum has been enriched by a faithful 1:10 scale model of the historic Walser settlement of St. Martin 100 years ago. Guided tours are available on request (duration: approx. 80 minutes)
