CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY CRAFT CULTURE

The HAND.WERK.HAUS Salzkammergut is located in a historic building in the centre of Bad Goisern. It accommodates a two-storey exhibition, a “handcrafted” shop and the workshop of  a glasses maker.
 
Members of the HAND.WERK.HAUS association have made it their task to preserve the traditional high-quality working crafts of the Salzkammergut, to make them “visible” and tangible, to renew them, and to pass them on.
 
The permanent exhibition, situated on the attractively designed upper floors of the building, is a journey through the traditional world of crafts, present and future. It introduces you to individual Salzkammergut businesses, detailing their history products and features within Salzkammergut context.

The traditional crafts are more than a hobby, they are professions based on time served learning. In this world of changing values and mass uniformity, the role of these traditional crafts has grown to encompass stylistic and cultural issues.

Our cultural identity is tied to our memory. If our memory fades, so does our identity.

Our homes, our clothes, and ultimately the everyday objects we use, are all part of our identity. As such they are a "testimony of the cultural development of man".

The HAND.WERK.HAUS has a purpose. It represents a group of craftspeople from throughout the Salzkammergut who are demonstrating how important it is to understand cultural heritage as a part of the present and the future. Rather than relying on a romanticised, backward-looking view, they are deliberately employing traditional creative skills to enrich the local domestic economy and develop a future for the traditional crafts.
