class=\"paragraph-m\">Its uniqueness lies, on the one hand, in the exciting combination of old and new on both architectural and thematic levels, and on the other hand, in the diversity of offerings. \nUnder one roof, there are art pieces ranging from the Middle Ages to the present, manuscripts and early prints, a Natural History Museum from the period of 1866-1906 (Museum within the Museum), an Art History Museum, special exhibitions, multimedia presentations about the monastery, a dedicated experience space for the \"Nationalpark Ges\u00e4use,\" and the museum workshop. \nAdditionally, since 2017, the newly designed hall houses a Gothic Museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    \n                            <\/div>\n        \n                                                    <div

the late Baroque library. It is the largest monastery library hall in the world.\nThe fascinating interaction between tradition and innovation becomes palpable in the exhibition content, the design of the exhibitions, and far beyond. The focal point of the collection activities is contemporary art. A focal point is the commissioned artworks of the in-house MADE FOR ADMONT line. Unique is the special collection \"JENSEITS DES SEHENS \u2013 KUNST VERBINDET BLINDE UND SEHENDE\" (BEYOND SIGHT \u2013 ART UNITES THE BLIND AND THE SIGHTED).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        \n

With its unique combination of spiritual tradition, impressive architecture and important art and nature collections, it is one of the most fascinating excursion destinations in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the centre of the monastery is the world's largest monastery library - a masterpiece of the late Baroque period. The magnificent library hall with over 60,000 books, ornate frescoes by Bartolomeo Altomonte and filigree sculptures by Josef Stammel leave visitors in awe. Here you can feel the spirit of centuries of living scholarship - a real journey through time into the world of knowledge and faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Admont Abbey has much more to offer: The modern museums offer a fascinating combination of past and present. The Museum of Art History displays valuable medieval manuscripts and sacred art, while the Museum of Contemporary Art offers surprising contrasts and contemporary works. The Natural History Museum delights young and old with its extensive collection of domestic and exotic animal specimens - an ideal place to marvel and learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A tour of the monastery not only provides insights into the world of the Benedictine monks, but also into the cultural richness and spiritual expanse that this house has radiated since 1074. Surrounded by the imposing mountains of the Ges\u00e4use National Park, Admont Benedictine Abbey is also an ideal place for an inspiring break - a place where nature, culture and spirituality come together in a unique way.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Those who want to experience history, enjoy art and find inner peace should not miss out on a visit to the Benedictine Abbey of Admont.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    \n                            <\/div>\n        \n                                                    <div class=\"content__box content__box--2\"\n                     >\n                                        \n                                            \n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gesamterlebnis-Benediktinerstift-Admont-2019.mp4\" class=\"content__video content__media\"\n                               x-data\n x-init=\"initContentLightBox('#lightpress__section--block_bee9cae13fd05f10e62a739f1d3c580b .content__video')\">\n                                                                                                                                <picture class=\"content__image\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Klostermarkttage_2019-c-Thomas-Sattler-22-1024x683.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Klostermarkttage_2019-c-Thomas-Sattler-22-1024x683.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"content__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/stiftadmont.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Klostermarkttage_2019-c-Thomas-Sattler-22-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Monastery market days 2019 (c) Thomas Sattler 22\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/>\n                                <\/picture>\n\n                                <span class=\"overlay-dark\"><\/span>\n                                <span class=\"content-overlay\"><\/span>\n                                <div class=\"content__plaque\">\n                                    <div class=\"content__plaque-inner\">\n                                        <span><i class=\"fas fa-play content__icon\"><\/i><\/span>\n                                        <p class=\"paragraph-m\">Play<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                        \n                                    <\/div>\n            \n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":113,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-457","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Museum Stift Admont - Stift Admont<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Das Museum des Stiftes Admont wurde im Jahre 2003 er\u00f6ffnet.
