Austria’S Museum For Useless Inventions

The Museum can be a great nonsensical addition to a corporate group visiting Austria, particularly as a change of scene from Austria’s better known attractions, such as Alpine vistas and urban sophistication. 

From a transparent suitcase for nudists to automatic nose pickers – Austria’s museum of nonsense and its vast collection of silly yet brilliant inventions are proof that bad ideas, if carried out well, can turn into genius creations.

The so-called Nonseum – which claims to be the only one of its kind in the world – has developed a cult following among fans of the absurd. Every year, thousands of people from around the world flock to the small village of Herrnbaumgarten, tucked away in the northern wine region close to the Czech border, to find comic relief at the Nonseum.
