Schwarzwaldmuseum — Attraction in Verwaltungsverband Raumschaft Triberg

Stopped here briefly after visiting Triburg waterfall. Unfortunately, we spent longer than planned at the waterfall and then looking for somewhere to eat, so we did not spend long at the museum. Some interesting exhibits and dioramas about life in historic Triburg, with focus on industry and society, as well as an emphasis on clocks and the origins of the industry in the area. Some impressive clocks on show. There is a small gift shop, selling trinkets and souvenirs.

Someone happened to request this while we were there, which is how I heard it. Entry is around €6 for adults and €3 or €4 for kids, I think. There is a dual ticket option when visiting the falls, whereby a museum ticket can also be bought for slightly less than individual prices.

And make sure it's in English too ;) Also, stop charging 1 euro each to make the different musical organs work (about half of which were 'out of service' - you should also fix that). But most importantly: you have so many great items on display - PLEASE add the information to go with them and bring...

I speak 0 German. I am an Indian working in France and decided to do a solo trip to the black forest region for my summer. I was fascinated by this museum as I wanted to learn the history of Black forest. After I paid the entry fees, I realized that the all the write ups and even the audio guides are only in German. I was handed a small pamphlet with little English text in it.. It really wasn't enough. I felt that I missed out on a lot. And I was disappointed that I wasn't warned before paying...
